Prayer Friday

 

This week full of moments...many of which will not be forever stuck in our memories.

This week full of experiences and encounters...many of which will soon be forgotten.

But for right now, they are accessible and available...right on the tip of our tongue.

Hold the moments of good ~ the laughter, the connections with friends, the music that stirred your heart, the book that gave you insight, the peace of sitting-breathing-being.  Name the good right now aloud to your computer screen.

Hold the moments of brokenness ~ the words you wished you had not said, the confusion that causes unrest within you, the times you'd like a rewind button to go back to try again, hold lightly for the sharp shards of this glass can cut you if you are not careful. Name the bad and ugly right now aloud to your computer screen.

Hold your life in prayer feeling God's grace holding all you have said and left unsaid.

Our lives, ourselves, are a mystery that is unfolding.

Our lives, our relationships, are evolving and expanding in ways beyond our control. 

And without moments to reflect, we might miss the beauty of the good, bad, and ugly where God is weaving the tapestry of "me" and "you" into a garment of life.

Hold in this holy moment all that was, is, and might be trusting that you do not hold this alone.

Amen.
