Hi God,
Remind me that folding laundry
is a spiritual practice.
Sometimes it seems rather a bother:
fold, put away, then… bang!
It’s all out and dirty again.
I guess laundry is another reminder
of the impermance of things:
clean one day, dirty the next.
Sort of like our souls:
we confess, resolve to do better,
our lives brighten,
then we fall back into sin,
or whatever one wishes to call it.
So my prayer today
is that you help us remember
that in striving we can find meaning;
and that this rembrance
will spur us to further striving,
striving to become one with you
and with each other.
Also, please have mercy on my soul
sinner though I continue to be.
Amen
