Sunrise
These are the times when I feel closest to God:
- When I pray with my children each night
- In the silence of my empty church
- In the kitchen when the window is open and I can hear my children playing tag
- On my walk home from dropping the kids off to school before the busyness begins
- In the night as I drift off to sleep in open prayer
- Every time I give a talk or lead a retreat
- While sitting at my computer writing thoughts that were not mine but seem to be inspired by God
- Every time I hear my children laughing and giggling together
- Every time my husband says “I’m crazy about you”
- Each time my husband says my name
- In the hugs and squeezes from my children
- When my littlest one doesn’t want to let go of my hand
- In the smile of my dad, husband, friends or children
- During every sunrise and sunset I have ever seen
- Every time I have been by the ocean
- When the geese fly over my house each morning
- When I get to take a break and sit in a comfy cozy chair
- In the wind
- In the beauty of all of nature especially the flowers, the sun and the sky
