Stability!

In my prayer for today, I reflected on the verse "Dwell in the land and feed on its riches" (Psalm 37:3). As I read the verse in morning prayer it occurred to me that here was a calling to accept and embrace this day with all its tasks and conversations, hopes and fears. In theory this seemed altogether quite a pleasant thought and then...

Leaving Morning Prayer a new friend appeared at the church doors clearly expecting a breakfast meeting with me. For some reason there had been confusion and I was caught by surprise. Because I had other "plans" for the morning I felt a little taken aback and disappointed but we had breakfast nevertheless. It was a great conversation, moving and inspiring. So, there you go, "dwell in the land [accept where you are] and feed on its riches"; it was indeed richly nourishing to develop friendship with my new friend and... the bacon and eggs was good too!
