A prayer of thanks for light.
Spring must be coming, as the days are lengthening
and the nights are shortening.
I feel so much more energetic when there is light.
So, does it follow that, since you are the light of the world,
I should feel more alive when I think of you?
Sounds logical and, if I could sustain my remembering,
I might even be able to quantify the theory.
I believe I have felt more enlivened when I have
been more mindful of you in the past.
Would it work now, in my dotage?
Guess I might give it an intentional try, if I can
sustain my memory or you light in my life
for any length of time.
God, help me to see your light shine around me
in the days ahead, and help me grow in response.
amen
