loneliness

A woman recently widowed and whose children are grown and live far away is clearing the table after yet another meal prepared and eaten alone.  

Her loneliness is interrupted by the whistle of her teapot announcing its presence; she listens for a prolonged moment to the pitch of its insistence.  Smiling, she attends to it while remembering that as one of the faithful she is never alone.  She thinks: 

“Thank you God for this moment, help me to experience You in it.”

and visits once again with God at the countertop.  The ordinary becomes extraordinary.
