Daily Bread
Warm rays of sun shine through the windows of my apartment
I drink my green mint tea and read the Bible
then I text a greeting to my mama
She is waiting for my text as she drinks her tea choice of the day
The dampest and coldest of our journeys
the anxious thoughts and endless ruminating
on our regrets and our disappointment
are best tackled when shared with our God
I am a beloved daughter of my mother
Yet both of us have a higher Parent
Who loves us in our joys and in our sorrows
and grants us peace as we seek Him together
He blesses our morning texts for each new day

I love the cozy feeling of this poem, the closeness it expresses.
