Letter 4382
Working on spring cleaning of the garden, I am safe as I clear away brush, pull out dead weeds, and turn the soil. Simple tasks, difficult to get wrong.
Knowing what to plant, when to plant, how to plant — these are beyond me. My talents lay elsewhere.
❖
Inside, in quiet, devoting myself to you, I am alive, my heart quickened.
Let me be whom I am supposed to be, Lord.
Consider:
Can I become myself?
