Safe Zone

I listened to the soft pattering of the rain as it fell upon the roof and the quiet gurgles as they trickled down the gutter.  The peaceful silence is only broken by the creaking of a pew…as some nameless sinner shifts his weight.

I so enjoy the hour of peaceful calm in this safe zone away from the pressures, projects and lists of stuff to do.  Each week this hour of Eucharistic adoration gives me time to recharge my battery, defrag my hard drive and reboot my life.

I actually take pleasure in the time spent with you Lord…just sitting here, looking at each other and doing nothing.  You have no demands, no false expectations and ulterior motives.  I know I am safe from the outside world…I have no wants, no worries and I know you love me unconditionally.

Dear Lord Jesus,

It will be a wonderful day

If I stay out of the fray

I know it’s going to be OK

If I just remember to pray    

When the day is gloomy and dank

And the world wants to give me a spank

I must not get all cranky and yank

Because I know it is You I must thank.

Amen.
