Habit

Letter 4559

Habit — purple linocut illustration

I started with an idea that I would daily write a note. Now there is a library.

I began to set aside a few coins daily. Now there are resources to address calamity.

I sit in devotion and prayer daily, even as a nonbeliever. Slowly, you drew near to me and my faith became an oak.

❖

Such small starts, such gradual progress, such undeniable growth.

Let me start something new today, Lord.


Consider:

What small, new habit might I add into my life?
