Dear God,

There is a beautiful connection between cleaning our home and cleansing our soul.  When we dust, vacuum and clean the bathrooms and kitchen, we feel clean inside because we are clean outside.  It reminds us we are always needing to do a cleaning on our interior.  When I realize I need to clean my house, I also think that I am also in need of a cleanup inside.  

When we lead lives of faith, when we contemplate simple tasks with deeper dimensions and when we pause to reflect upon the goodness of creation and all our gifts, we can understand the links between our outer and inner worlds.  When we create balance for one, we create balance for the other.  When we clean up one, we are cleansing the other.  When we alter and change things for one, just naturally we are transforming the other.

Daily you give us opportunity to see life in new ways.  You provide a chance to make changes that can better the environment around us.  When we recognize and can acknowledge the sacred connection between body and soul and earth and heaven and you and us, we realize how powerful we are to co-create, dramatically shift and make new everything around us.
