Letter 4369

The sun peeks over the horizon, the birds have begun calling. Still I sleep, holding to the warmth of my bedding.

Am I tired and resting, Lord, or am I fearful and hiding?

❖

The day marches forward whether I am standing or sitting. Let me not shrink from it.


Consider:

Can I awaken myself?
