May 2026

This morning I read John 1, and it sounded like this:

In the beginning there was Love, and Love was with God, and Love was God. 
Through Love all things were made; without Love nothing was made that has been made.

We were made in love by love for love. And this morning, I see the abundance of love in my world: I've awoken to another day, the sun rose, the birds are singing. Abundance. I shouldn't, but sometimes I take these things for granted; because they happen so often I can forget to see them for the miracles that they are. 

Open my eyes, Lord
Open my ears, Lord
Open my heart, Lord
Help me to see the world through the lens of love
Help me to live in the flow of your love
