Only take care,
and keep your soul
             diligently,
lest you forget the things
   that your eyes have seen,
and lest they depart
  from your heart
  all the days of your life.
Make them known
  to your children
  and your children's children...

                 Deuteronomy 4. 9

(What does taking care of my soul
        look like today?
Not just in what I do,
   but where is my heart in this?
What am I pursuing with intention?
What do I talk about freely
               with others,
   be it a grandchild,
   a co-worker,
   on the driveway
             with a neighbor?
Be ye not distracted
  from what strengthens
      our relationship with God.
Seek the LORD in this,
be aware of His Presence,
remember His faithfulness,
         and make Him known.
Even here.
Even in this.)

O LORD,
Open our eyes to
   making You known,
even in ways we don't see
           as witness to You.
Help us to seek You
    with all intentionality
and realize the difference
     of Your dwelling within us.
Help us to not just remember You
       but respond to You
       all through the day.
And make You known
    by both our words
    and how we love others.
Bring Your glory to this day,
  both in the tangible
  and the transcendent.
