Time

Kris I checked out the Carmelites web site. Wow it really is beautiful in it's design. And I thought that perhaps, not being raised in a Catholic tradition, I wouldn't connect with the ideas expressed within it. But I found that I was impacted by the SCHOOL OF PRAYER lesson on TIME. You see I've just come down from a period of intense work both physical and mental. This past week was LOOOOONG! I had a huge wedding to deliver, a shed to paint and a family to take care of. I was sooo busy.... How many times have I said that? I seem to be saying it more and more. I often wonder if there's enough time in the day for everything I "want" to do. Time for God? Time for prayer? Maybe at the beginning of the day and maybe at the end, but in the middle? I'd have to say no.

When you feel that you have the least amount of time to pray, realize that is probably when you have the greatest need to pray.

Yes that is true. Prayer, along with reading God's word, is probably the single most important thing.... that I've neglected.

At least God doesn't give up on us. I know his word and his promises are sure. He'll never leave us nor forsake us. I just wish I could stop saying "I've been so busy lately...."
