...despise not

  the day of small things.

          Zechariah 4. 10

(For life

       is built on the every days,

extraordinary moments

   in what we consider ordinary.

All is sacred.

Nothing insignificant.

Nothing too small

    that God is not already using.

God's glory

     is seamlessly woven.)

O LORD,

Please grant us

                new vision

and a new heart

in what we think

             as ordinary..

Help us to realize

        Your glory in it,

the opportunity to love others,

the privilege to love You

          in it and through

   whatever you place

                     before us,

wherever,

among whomever.

Everything in Your Name

    and by Your strength.
