Gifts

Letter 4528

I watched the sun rise from my chair. Slowly, the light on my table became unnecessary.

Slowly, the coat I wore at night was no longer needed.

Slowly, I filled with energy that in the dark had not been there.

❖

All these gifts, brought to me in my chair.

What other gifts are you prepared to send my way, Lord?


Consider:

Can I be attentive to and grateful for all I receive today?
