I post this with deep gratitude, but knowing that not many will be able to contemplate creating such a space. However, if anyone sees this and feels they have space that can be similarly kept as a peace-filled haven, then I will be glad of the prompting to post this entry; even though logic might say it is unlikely to be of help to many others.
And if that is the case, then it will stand as a simple prayer of thanksgiving between me and Jesus.
A Quiet Space.
Dearest Lord,
we are very blessed
to have the privilege
of being able to keep a dedicated space
as a quiet sanctuary within our home.
This is a place
to meet you in the blessed peacefulness
of the morning.
This is a place
where we can encounter
you at work in others.
This is a place.
where the tribulation of others.
can be shared.
And all these uses
have been, are, and will be
sacred footsteps
in our own journeying
with you.
It is a gift
that has been one among
the many blessings
we have experienced here,
in our lovely and love-filled home.
And in the blessed peace,
of a morning,
I give thanks.
Amen.
