You are correct about our being creators of habit and that sometimes it takes a shake up for us to remember old ways (such as prayer before meals or morning and/or evening prayers, etc) and bring them into the fore as new habits.
I’m going to reflect on this and think of you as I try to put my left sock on first tomorrow instead of my right! Hoping to see you soon.

The changes in worship have been painful for many of us, and yet you draw our attention to the numerous creative adaptations that are emerging.
Once again, the Great Weaver is introducing new threads into the tapestry of our church. Some threads make the existing fabric stronger, allowing it to survive through the years. Others give it new beauty and brightness. Still others are basting, holding the fibres together while changes take hold, and, though essential for the time, are never intended to be part of the finished work.
