Anchor

Come walk the trail with me as we make our way toward sunset.
See those distant hills? 
They mark our time as the sun creeps below the horizon.
Sneeky, isn't it, how the days pass - 
this one quickly, that one as slowly as a cat's early morning stretch.
I bask in the sun of my life - love, friends, sisters.
Even my daily chores fill my hours with meaning as I prepare a meal to sustain, 
clothes in which to work,
a place to lay my head.
Meaning isn't found in what I do, or who I am, 
but in why all those are, and who they serve.
As for me and my house, 
we will serve the Lord.
No trite phrase, glibly uttered,
but a truth and a commitment wholly felt, 
fully believed.
This measures my time, my days, my life, my meaning.
This holds me in my hours, yet lifts me up
toward an eternal hope.
