Posterity

Letter 4407

I encountered a pile of rocks on my walk this morning. I stacked them into a cairn for others to see.

Was I showing off? Or is it a gift for later walkers? Would I be happy without others knowing who did it?

Let me become comfortable with anonymity, Lord.


Consider:

Can I have truly humility today?
