Letter 4386
Each night, I fold and stow my garment.
Each morning, I sweep my small dwelling.
Mid morning finds me at labor.
At noon I rest and eat, then continue on.
In the evening I reflect on the day.
Is this a meager life? Or is this abundance?
❖
Hidden in and among my simple days is great and unseeable wealth.
Routine provides strength within which I can roam freely, as I walk from treasure-heap to treasure-heap.
Lord, let me live your discipline.
Consider:
Can I follow routine today?
