God is constantly trying to get our attention and hoping we see how loved we are. How do you find love expressed to you throughout your day? How do you express love to God? To others?
For me, expressions of love look like:
- The warmth of the beautiful quilt made by my friend Susan I wrap myself in each morning.
- Accepting and giving a kiss to my sweet husband as he walks by my prayer chair.
- Drinking my favorite cup of coffee out of a special mug from my friend Jacquelyne with coffee made in the pour over coffee pot given to me by my bonus daughter Jillian.
- Reading prayers for the Holy Spirit given to me by a priest and spiritual director.
- Hearing and seeing God’s word through Lectio Divina, using the gospel of Matthew, given to me by my son, KJ.
- Settling into my centering prayer after reading The Daily Reader for Contemplative Living by Father Thomas Keating, given to me by my daughter, Lauren.
- Lighting a Mary’s garden candle, asking for Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, to pray for us.
God expresses love to us through others. I’m feeling well loved this morning.
