Dear God,

For weeks I have worked hard to get things done so I could leave for Maine.  I checked off the items on my list when I finished them.  I kept my focus.  But every so often you reminded me to sit with you, to make you and faith my central focus.  "Do not forget your first love."  I heard my own mouth say.

It is so easy to get busy and fail to spend contemplative time by your side.  At day's end we may feel good that we accomplished so much but if we failed to spend quality time with you, the value of our accomplishments fade as we realize we forgot the most important thing.

Show us
the way,
O Lord.
Forgive us
when we substitute
the little thing
for the
big thing.
Thank you
for gentle reminders.

Love always, Andrea
