Satisfy us by your loving-kindness in
the morning so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life. Psalm 90:14
Since, then, you have
been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is,
seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly
things. Colossians 3:1–2
Sitting here in McDonald’s. McDonald’s desperately trying to
be ironic and cool. But really, it is McDonald’s. But I am content, watching
each of the folks slipping in to get something warm for the belly. Folks from the backroads of life, making it
through another day. Probably this isn’t anyone’s first choice, but it is
enough. The happiest folks here are this sweet couple who might have slept in
the alley behind the dumpster last night. Just saying. A few dried weeds still
cling to her blue sweatshirt as she gently leads her crippled friend to the
booth behind me.
Enough. Give us this
day our daily bread. Last night I curled off to sleep with yet another
chapter of Through Middle Eastern Eyes,
and was reminded once again of what is true. A small coffee and a sausage
biscuit, $2.14. Enough.
May I be satisfied with your loving-kindness and rejoice all
the days of my life.
