God as our Center

I would have expected that these weeks I will have spent more quiet time, however with the new routine I have actually spent less. I used to send Nicole to school and spend some time in the adoration room at Risen Christ, but since I started my treatment, my good neighour has been sending my daughter to school in the morning. I wake up a little later, and eat breakfast and go off to work. The traffic is heavier and so I have excused myself for not taking the detour to church or spend some quiet time with my Father. I will change this, I want to and I miss the quiet time. John 14:2-3 In my Father's house, he has prepared a room for me and Jesus has said that He will come and take me with Him. How can I not spend time with my Father and say I am a son. How can I be ready if I do not focus on making God my center.

I attached a reflection from Shalom today ;
If our lives are compared to a wheel our activities would be at the periphery and our centres would be at the axle. They would be connected by spokes, our activities and prayer forms. But, if our axle was not still, centred, properly placed the wheel could not move properly. So too, if our lives do not have a mystical centre there will not be a healthy relationship with our active lives. There will be alienation.
In our prayers today let us: ‘Look back and thank God, Look forward and trust God, Look around and serve God, Look within and find God!’

Happy Mother's Day 10th May 2009.
