Turning open my prayer book this morning helped ground me in this day. With feelings of numbness and sadness overwhelming me, the familiarity of the words reminded me of what is true.
The refrain for today's morning prayer was:
"Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom."
The words cut through my emotions to my heart.
May it be so for all of us.
