Between Lost and Found
Sometimes I feel lost. My dear husband of many years, a number of my friends and some of those whom I saw as my spiritual champions are gone.
There are challenges related to loss and aging that feel strange and scary. I am blessed to be a member of a spiritual community and a wider social network from which I receive support, understanding and love. Sharing a passing smile, greeting, touch or visit can mean so much and can help to recapture a sense of the wonder of life, and to recognize the spiritual guide posts that are hidden just beyond the more mundane trappings of life.
I think of Psalm 26:10: “Be still and know that I am God.” God is real to me and this verse reminds me of God’s presence and love. The guidance of the Divine is there for the asking.
Prayer: Thank you for the small daily things in our lives that help to keep us aware of God’s presence and love. Amen
