Easter as Prayer
As much as Easter sings to our head, heart, and soul...it is an invitation to prayer.
Prayer not only as monologue...but both an experience and exploring.
Prayer need not only be bowing our heads and launching words heavenward.
Sometimes prayer is moving.
Ancient ancestors said..."It is solved by walking".
And "it" is whatever we keep lugging and whatever keeps tugging at us.
A relationship?
Something in our head, heart, soul?
A decision we need to make?
Trying to stay healthy emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
To solve "it" by walking help us.
As we move, our body burns calories.
As we move, the soles of our feet are connected to our very souls.
As we move, our hearts beat warmly.
When the disciples in Luke 24 encountered and experienced Jesus on the road of life, they hearts were strangely warmed. They were caught up in a holy moment that would forever change their life.
Without every uttering word, I believe in that moment, the disciples were in prayer.
Prayer of listening to Jesus open side doors of scripture.
Prayer of moving about.
Prayer of exploring and experience.
Prayer of discovery and discerning the still speaking God.
Prayer...it is solved by walking.
Which is exactly what I am going to do now.
Grace and peace ~~
