As often as I have said, “My foot has slipped,”
your love, O
Lord, upheld me.
When many cares fill my mind,
your consolations
cheer my soul. Psalm 94:18-19
I look at my “To Do” list, then wish I hadn’t. Daunting.
Complicated. Maybe even treacherous.
Of course, I remind myself, it is just a piece of paper. I
have yet to be undone by a catalog. And I know something more. Beneath every
unraveled moment, I have discovered God’s love. Even when I could not see it at
the time.
I pick up my list and add to the top: breathe, pray, listen
to music, drink plenty of water, trust. I begin with item number one. Then,
almost as an afterthought, I add: find my sense of humor. I am fortified for
the day ahead.
