Congregationalists Learning to Pray

Hi God,

This morning, Brewster was a dog on a mission:
he tugged me all the way to the park.
There, I set him free, 
    merely to run around;
    to chase balls
    to greet his new friend for the day, 
       Molly, a nice young weimaraner. 
Nothing fancy, just simple joy.

I seem to need this reminder a lot:
to take joy in simple, repetitive activities,
regular rituals, so to speak.
So my prayer today 
is that you help us to realize
the joy that comes with
the regular repetition of simple actions;
that we may find them ever satisfying.

Also, I ask you
to have mercy on my soul
sinner though I be.

Amen
