Today’s Reflection: Lord, what am I when compared to this flower? What are you in giving this flower to me? How can I live my life to notice these simple gifts? The simple beauty of the flower stirs my need to know you better. I pray today, God, not to pretend to know you but to wait patiently as you reveal yourself to me over time. — from The Sacred Garden.

Today’s Reflection: A Morning Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Be with me in my going out and coming home,
in my journeying and returning,
in my decision making and organizing.
Be with me through the calm and through the storm,
be my comfort when I’m hurting,
be my helper when I’m falling.
Walk with me every moment of this new day.
In Jesus’ name. Amen. — Author unknown.
