Day #2004

June 27, 2019 

A guest writer for Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditation posits that God can not only be the interruptions that come in our lives, but also be in them. This idea struck me because I think we often believe we must have absolute quiet to effectively pray or have quality time with God. However, the messiness of our sometimes chaotic lives interrupts that time with other needs or events. But this writer’s idea is that God is actually in those moments, too, speaking to us and guiding us. That the interruption is actually God. 

Yes, I think that sometimes to hear God we do need some undisturbed time. But today I’m thinking about God speaking to us in the chaos. The times when the phone rings with an emergency need. Or someone comes by wanting to talk. Or when a loved one needs a hug or a listening ear. Maybe that’s actually when God speaks the loudest. And is a moment when we can learn something about ourselves, and God, that we would not have done so otherwise.

That helps as the day has been quite busy and chaotic and full of holy interruptions. 

But here’s something fun - a picture of that VBS I wrote about Monday. The kids have surely been having fun and learning. 

Blessings.
