It’s another Monday morning. Red streaks appear over the sky. Boys who were restless in the night seem to have found their sleep at last. Life giving coffee has been drunk.
The week lies before me.
This prayer I pray deep.
Creator God, whose gift of life is found as much in tedium as in glory, teach us to be faithful in the most ordinary tasks of life, and to consecrate our boredom to your service lest, in mistaking dullness for your absence, we lose heart; and in confusing excitement for your presence, we lose faith. For the glory of your name in all the world. Amen.
It’s Monday.
The week lies before me.
