Shivering

Letter 4398

Summer creeps upon the land, bright dawn and clear skies, yet the morning brings chill.

These glorious days, their cost is a frigid morning.

Walking through my rooms, I regret my light bedclothes and wish for a cap.

At noon I will be grateful for the beauty and I will be strong. For now, I shiver.

Let me accept momentary discomfort, Lord, do your glory.


Consider:

Can I accept momentary discomfort?
