Eternal God–
parent, child, and spirit–
to whom a day is like 1,000 years,
teach us patience
teach us presence
teach us to see and know and love
the people all around us,
teach us to recognize
that we are bound together
because then, maybe then,
we would begin to live as you do:
in communion.

2 Peter 3:8 Don’t overlook the obvious here, friends. With God, one day is as good as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day.

Ephesians 4:5-6 You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything to are and think and do is permeated with Oneness.

Ever present God,
teach us your ways.
Show us how to be present and engaged
in all the moments of our lives.
Teach us to be here, wholly here
in our bodies, in our feelings, in our minds, in our souls.
Because otherwise,
our God-breathed lives
will pass us by.
Help us accept your ever open invitation to be here
in this moment of now–
however ordinary or extraordinary–
because if we pay attention,
we’ll catch glimpses of you everywhere.
