Do I dare mill next season’s seed? Deep winter depletes even my emergency flour. The seasoned wood is used up; I am burning twigs and green logs.
Will the spring come?
Everything I need is to hand, yet I do not touch it. I am a child, Lord, keeping aside one last cookie in case I later want a snack.
Spring will come. When has it not?
You have given me daily gifts and they continue. Grant me faith, Lord, as I grind new flour for tonight’s bread.
