Journey: A Year of Days

5/6/11 Today is the first day of a journey with my new devotional book, A Year of Days. It's a companion to the Book of Common Prayer, which "resides" on my bedside table. It's a gift from dear Margie H. and it's story is a treasure.
Today's entry coordinates with PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE p.386. "I ask your prayers for all who seek God, or a deeper knowledge of Him. " That alone is a great beginning for the story that follows:

• Each of us has a "birth" story of spiritual meaning--an "explosion of grace" or a "gradual dawning" of a call to follow Jesus.


• The journey continues as we find other believers and live together in community and are instructed in the faith.


• As the journey progresses we share love, joys and grief and our capacity to feel all of those emotions for each other grows.


• Deeper and deeper into our heart goes the love of God and thus grows our ability to love those in community. It's the story of the Christian faith.

What's your story? Where are you on your journey?
