Keep the Homefires Burning

A few quiet moments before the hectic week...

Come and Find the Quiet Center

Come and find the quiet center
in the crowded life we lead,
find the room for hope to enter,
find the frame where we are freed.
Clear the chaos and the clutter
clear our eyes that we can see
all the things that really matter
be at peace, and simply be.

Silence is a friend who claims us
cools the heat and slows the pace
God it is who speaks and names us
knows our being, touches base
making space within our thinking
lifting shades to show the sun
raising courage when we're shrinking
finding scope for faith begun.

In the Spirit, let us travel
open to each other's pain
let our loves and fears unravel
celebrate the space we gain
there's a place for deepest dreaming
there's a place for hearts to care
in the Spirit's lively scheming
there is always room to spare.

Father, God, help me stay focused on all that truly matters this week and let the rest fall as chaff to the ground. Lead me to my quiet center so I can hear your voice and leading.
