Father, Your love never stops, even when I am too tired to feel it. Today my hands are full — one on the baby, one on the coffee. It is so easy to keep them closed. Help me open them, even just a little, right here in my lap. I do not need to feel better first. I just need to lift my heart to You. That small turn toward You is enough. Amen.
