ner selves and look for any glimmerings of a desire to be filled with a greater
love. How much joy can one bring to this earth by not only clearly bringing the
Word out into the world, but also by acting it out? How do we live our lives? It is
imperative that we ˈwalk the talkˉ and brighten the lives of others around us. We
find even greater awareness of God˅s presence as we learn to accept ˈthe
other,ˉ and not just focus on ourselves.

Dearest God, please speak to me today as a wave gently touches the sand on
the shore. Awaken in me the desire to continue to move forward toward the
realms of heaven. Remind me that any wintertime that exists in my life is fol-
lowed by a spring, and that love is always waiting to burst forth in my heart.
Amen.
