Sounds like the spirit is inviting you to retreat.

Hopefully you CAN find the time and just the right retreat for your soul. I know it is easy not to go and to make excuses so I guard this time very carefully.

Thank you for your prayers! I will be sure to lift you and your mom’s situation up in prayer too,

Whether I need an actual silent retreat away from home or not, I definitely need to get silent before God. Thanks for the reminder!

I remember you not getting to go last year; I was disappointed for you. It’s been a few years since I’ve done a retreat at our local monastery. Perhaps I will look at their upcoming schedule this week…

Your mention of open hands reminded me of Psalm 145:16 about God opening HIS hand: “You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.” I look forward to hearing how God satisfies your desires for intimacy, clarity, wisdom, and more when you return!

I do feel I’m in need of such spiritual refreshment, but will have to take those times in fits and starts due to my mother’s predicament right now.
Blessings!
