Our Life: 7 January

Seeing the Everyday

Our lives are the sum
Of each moment and interaction.

Each day we work, eat, laugh,

teach, play, read, remember…
And work at it all again the next day.

Within seemingly small moments

we find opportunity
To build relationships, develop character,

find joy
For the price of our time.

Life’s most essential possibilities

are realized at home.

Where we share, teach, grow, learn, serve, give
Our best without praise or fanfare.

Because every effort,

every moment matters
In the development of a person.

Nothing is really routine.

To all who see the everyday.
