Now during those days he went out to the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God. And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles.
Giving thanks today
for time spent in prayer
Snatched moments on the morning commute
on the station platform
or the standing room only carriage
Or long walks along the beach
leaning into the wind
and dodging the surf
when the spray infuses our tears.
Or in a space set apart
that beckons any and all
to rest and rage
and listen
and be still.
Giving thanks
for the presence of God
in all of those spaces
and more
and for friends
willing to sit with us
to walk with us
to wrestle alongside us
and to help us live into
the fullness of life
to which God calls.
