Dear God,

Why do we turn from you when we know that we know that we know that turning toward you will bring us comfort, hope and peace?  Why do we go anywhere else?

I fill up my day with tasks.  I love nearly everything I do.  I love to clean my house.  I love to make beautiful meals.  I love to do hard work on the spiritual path.  I love to spend time with my family.  I love to plan ahead.  I love to make special plans.  I love, I love, I love.

But in my busyness, I rely mostly on myself.  I think about what I think.  I do what I think to do.  I have a lot of I in my life.  Even writing this on paper makes my heart sink.  I have a lot of I in my life.

O Lord,
please forgive me.
I think more
about myself
than I do you.
I am sorry.
Lead me, Lord,
back home.

Love, Andrea
