Reflection for Monday 9/14

Uncategorized

So I had one of those mornings this morning. Everything went grand with my ritual/routine with the dogs, my clothes were ironed, and I had the band width to make breakfast and coffee and I left with a kiss from my beloved. Then everything went to hell… dropping off the dogs my coffee cup (still full of lovely iced coffee) spilled all over the passenger side floor and on top of my bag (which of course was open). Then as I pulled away from dropping the dogs off, I looked down to see left over greenie residue (dog treat) all over my shirt from the puppy. Oiy.

So needless to say I had to take a deep breath. I got more coffee when I got in today. Took another deep breath and laughed at myself a bit.

Monday, Monday.

So here is my prayer for today:

Gracious God, who holds us even when we are grace-less and clumsy Be with us this Monday, Remind us that neatness and cleanliness Is only skin-deep and you are concerned with deeper things. Help all of us to have a sense of humility this day Pull us out of our own whoa such that we see the light in the day. Set us on the path of righteousness for our residents To do good work To bring kindness and appreciation to our colleagues To find solutions to that which frustrates us and our residents Be with us this Monday. Help all of us to have a sense of humor this day Pull us out of our snarkiness and move our hearts into compassion For our residents For our leadership For our peers For those who work for us For ourselves Be with us this Monday, Oh Gracious One Help us to appreciate the good work we have The opportunity to offer the world humility, righteousness and compassion. Phew, a new day is upon us. Amen. – Rev. Michelle DeCoste Photo by Eternal Seconds on Unsplash
