Whether you\u2019re waking in your own home or somewhere unfamiliar, may this moment be a lantern lit with hope. You are not alone. The Spirit walks beside you, even in the hallway of a hotel or the hush of a borrowed room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let today begin not with hurry, but with holy noticing.
