This evening I decided I’d just sit and be with God. I lit a candle, turned out the cottage lights and sat on the deck gazing at the house lights across the bay. I didn’t have any agenda other than to be with God. If my mind wandered toward doing things like menus and Christmas shopping, I brought it back to God.
I don’t have anything startling to report. I let go of most extraneous thoughts; I prayed a little for others; I was filled with some gratitude—all very low key. Maybe this is my way of experiencing contemplative prayer. What I do know is that the entire experience felt effortless and satisfying. I think God liked it, too.
