Worker Among Workers

Letters 1 Minute

Letter 4381

Does the sun shine only on my cabin? My neighbor’s home is in the same field.

Does the rain fall only upon me? The whole village is drenched.

At the barn-raising, is it my hammer that makes the difference? All the nails are the same.

❖

I am neither greater than, nor less than.

Lord, let me be one of many today, a worker among workers.

Consider:

Can I be one of many?
