Prayer

Prayer

Dear Lord,

The turkey dried out in the oven. The stuffing is half-finished and the squash is undercooked. The wine hasn't even begun to breathe and the pie crust turned out soggy. There are dishes in the sink, the floor must be swept, the table set, and the bathrooms cleaned. I would like to pause with you, Lord, if only for a moment. But the guests are due to arrive. And while you were always harsh with her, Martha's tasks were important too.
