It shall be made

with cherubim

skillfully woven into it.

          Exodus 26.31

(How am I approaching

what is before me today?

Bad attitudes,

    irritation,

    grumbling?

Or weaving angels

     into the ordinary?

Skillfully brings

    willingness and intention,

    creativity and excellence

                        to the task,

           no matter what it is.

Not having to be the best,

but as we used to tell our kids,

           do your best.

In whatever we do, produce,

    respond and approach,

the glory of God,

His strength,

     and His Presence

seamlessly woven.

There is no distinction

   between visible and unseen,

   significant and insignificant.

All is profound to God.)

O LORD,

In all that You have

          placed before us

     or around us

     or blocking our path,

please help us

   to skillfully work

   a different heart

               into this.

And be faithful to You

     no matter the journey

     or the outcome,

              beautiful to You.
