Letter 4537
One neighbor has an unruly yard into which I see easily. Another neighbor tends to their grounds daily and is an example of industry.
From whom do I learn?
❖
Sitting in devotion, trying to draw near to you, Lord — my chores beckon. Yet what could be more important than my time with you, even as the weeds grow in the cracks between pavers that reach my doorstep?
Let me learn to recognize my teachers, Lord.
Consider:
Can I devote more energy to seeking you today?
