FCS Journal – Week Three: September 12-18, 2004
Another busy week. I remember visiting Sacred Space, but I find it
hard to remember any of the particular day’s reflections. Not much
earth-shaking I guess, but filling and strengthening, like daily
bread. The weekly reflection was a good one, though, about how Jesus
went searching for the lost sheep. The direction the author took with
their reflection was to recognize that there are parts of our own
lives that are lost–griefs, trials, sins, emotions, ideas–and the
importance of knowing that Jesus comes to gather all of me into the
Divine Presence for healing and enlivening. I found that a helpful
background thought for the week since I had to write and record a
series of morning devotionals for a local radio station. It helped to
picture the persons listening as lost sheep, or at least with lost
parts of themselves that needed to hear a word of hope, joy, peace,
and life.
This next week, I need to take the time to write in my journal at
least every 2-3 days. It would be great to do daily, and that is what
I will aim at. That will definitely help me to retain more of the
daily meals and blessings.
