Letter 4476
I built a path through my garden, winding from the gate to the shed. I used a series of paving stones to create a steady walkway. This was just last month.
Today, already: explosive growth between the stones. It is as if they had been there for years, growing into the landscape.
Do I pull the weeds between the pavers? Or do I love the naturalness?
❖
Lord, let me see the miracle when you accept my humble offering into your lands.
Consider:
Can I accept forces greater than myself today?
