The cathedral's awesome and majestic and so is your place of retreat.<br /><br />I was reminded of Psalm 27,4: One thing I ask of the Lord; this I seek; To dwell in the Lord's house all the days of my life, To gaze on the Lord's beauty, to visit His temple...<br /><br />His temple is everywhere, not confined to the wall of the church as you said. He is present where I seek Him ~ inside me, in other people, in His creation. <br /><br />I so love your reflections this day as you reminded me to be mindful of God's presence in my midst.<br /><br />I pray with you ~ I feel so much love and am grateful for this.Melissa Tandochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747825707650125721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-3512864787993201182012-05-01T05:56:09.207-07:002012-05-01T05:56:09.207-07:00Thanks so much for stopping by, Leah!
