Saturday Prayer: Priorities

Holy One,

I made choices today. – how late I slept, what I ate, where I traveled. What tasks and chores I planned. (Or didn’t.)

I realized as I made my choices that most of them were selfish, if not self-serving. I took notice of my family’s needs, not the world’s aches and pains.

Forgive me.

So I’ve tossed my “to-do list” in favor of listening and being present. I’ve put my expectations aside to pray, to meditate… and to hold our wise old man cat, Henry.

And somehow, I hear your heart of hearts more clearly now. (Funny how that happens…)

Blessed Be.
