While classes have been over for a bit, I’m on the cusp of “just summer” as I close the book on my last task of the school year with my friend/writing buddy/colleague. I’ll still have work to do, but here is my prayer for summer 2013.
Less grading. . . More poetry.
Less lunch at my desk . . . More picnics.
Less TV. . . More campfires.
Less pictures. . . More memories.
Less running around. . . More napping with my one-year-old.
Less things. . . More people.
Less list making. . . More song making.
Less e-mail. . . More letters.
Less coffee in the car . . . More beer on the deck.
Less devotions. . . More Bible.
Less me-focus. . . More others-focus.
Less computer. . . More stories.
Less worry is me. . . More calling is me.
Less fear. . . More strength.
Less anxiety. . . More contentment.
Less “just get through”. . . More “embrace today with hope and joy”.
Less doing . . . More being.
Amen.
