Walking With My Brother

Keeping You uppermost in my thoughts and reflections during this Christmas season, trying to experience Your presence in all the unfamiliar people and situations was both fruitful and exhausting. Yet as we slow our pace, take time to reflect on Christmas and all of 2013 in preparation for the new year, I realize You were always there, Father. Just as You are here right now, reading these words over my shoulder.

As we approach “ordinary time”  – time again to plan proper meals, to exercise, to connect more fully again with You – my anticipation mounts for the warmth of Your touch, for those times yet to come when I might so subdue the cacophony all about me that I can hear more clearly Your quiet, gentle voice.
