Labor Day Prayer

This prayer began to construct itself in my head as I was running today.  I suppose that to be precise I might have to say that the Good Lord wanted to draw my attention to the beauty around me as I ran and put the prayer in my mind.  Shortly after the majority of the words and structure of the prayer came to settle for me, a small fawn stepped from the woods into the path I was running on.  We both stopped to look at see each other. The fawn took a few tentative steps toward me to get a better look.  I took a couple of steps closer to her.  We were very close, maybe 10 yards apart.  It made me consider that perhaps this was God's way of putting the exclamation point on the prayer.  After a few moments the fawn dove into the woods and continued on her way and I continued on mine.  In retrospect it seems presumptuous of me to attribute the words in my prayer to God's voice.  It is, however, how it came to me so I decided not to edit.   So here it is for posterity.  All I have to do now is remember it for myself.

Look for Me in your labor. Look for Me in your rest. Look for Me in your happiness and in your sorrow.  Find Me in the beauty of the day and in the heart wrenching plight of the destitute, for I will not hide from you. I'm always here, in all things and all places. Seek Me and you will find Me. Knock and I will always open the door.
