...so that in everything

they may adorn

the doctrine of God

             our Savior.

          Titus 2. 10

(Our lives embroider

what we believe.

Our lives reveal

     on the visible

the reality of God

    even in the ordinary.

It is not what we bring

        to the picture,

but God's glory

   embedded in

lives transformed by Him.)

O LORD,

Help us not just to be

        mindful of You,

but to bear the mind of Christ

   in whatever situations

   we find ourselves today.

Help us to embrace

  Your divine appointments

and to adorn Your grace

and love and goodness

   for Your glory,

even in the most unlikely places

and in the unexpected.
