Dear God,

Round things...these two words came to me during my devotions...round things.  Round things, circles where we go round and round while thinking about living differently than the same old way.  Round things, moving inward to the inner circle where you and I can dwell together.  Round things, traveling around many times looking closely to see something more than we have seen before.

Sometimes round circles are places where we need to travel in order to listen better, see differently and reflect upon ways to move from where we are to the next step on our pilgrim journey.  I have gone round and round many times behaving the same old way expecting some new result.  But, of course, it never comes because it is designed to offer the same old answers.  Some times you allow us to travel round and round until we get something right, when the bell rings and we realize this is not where we want to be.  In the round, we can pause and even turn around because you are there to give us a new opportunity for life.

Loving God,
thank you
for round places
that teach us
life lessons.
Thank you
for showing us
the way.
Guide us
to you,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
