Recently, as Tom led us in our morning prayer reflection on The Rule, we
spoke of paying attention to signs of God in our presence, listening to
the voice of God in those we meet each day, and being mindful of our
response to God in our midst. The practice of piloting our day with God
as our navigator should shift how we see the world around us. Tom
shared as story: he has been visiting Martin's during its renovations,
and as a man who enjoys order, this has often been frustrating; however,
as the renovations came together, he began to appreciate the work and
efforts of the staff who have created a truly wonderful store; in a God
moment, he shared his appreciation with the store's manager, a man who
had been hearing many frustrated tales and was grateful to be recognized
for his hard work. In light of this story, Daniel shared this video about
gratitude:
In January of 2010, a small group of parishioners at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Williamsburg, Virginia, joined together in morning prayer and reflection on the Rule of St. Benedict. We began reading Joan Chittester's daily reflections on the Rule in her book, The Rule of Benedict: Insights for the Ages, and continue as community with daily readings, in Morning Prayer at the church on Wednesdays, and on these pages.
