Don't Leave Home Without It


Our friend Joy recently said something that, brief as it is, strikes me as worth an entire post of its own.  

Returning from a trip, Joy wrote "I had to laugh at all of the times I was reminded of the Cloistered Heart.  I never leave home without it."  

Hmm.  Enclosure in the protection of God's will.  The "grillwork" of Scripture through which I can relate to the world.   A refuge.  A place of prayer that I can carry with me wherever I go.

The Cloistered Heart.

May I never leave home without it.
