Ordinary Time

Pause

Pause. Breathe in. Where are you? Let it go. Breathe out.

Pause. Breathe in. What do you need to do today? Let it go. Breathe out.

Pause. Breathe in. God is here. Breathe out. Be here. 

Be. Be you.

Let the you be.

Listen

They got up early the next morning and worshipped the Lord. Then they went back home to Ramah. Elkanah had sex with his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her. So in the course of time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, which means “I asked the Lord for him.”

1 Samuel 1:17-20

Think

Whenever I pray, God answers. Sometimes years will go by before I hear the answer. Other times I see the answer before I finish praying. God always answers. God is called Love. And Love hears every word, every prayer, and answers.

Everything in my life is a gift from above. Life itself is a gift. I am so thankful.

Dan Shoemake

Pray

God of Love, you give continually. Everything that I have comes from you. Thank you for being the great Giver. Amen.

Go

Go. Breathe in. Where are you? Be there. Breathe out.

Go. Breathe in. What do you need to do today? Do it boldly. Breathe out.

Go. Breathe in. God is here. Be here. Breathe out.

Be. Be you.

Let the you be.
