From Scratch

Lord,
Driving to church this morning
A vivid image came to me:
My kitchen full of morning sunlight,
me standing at my counter making
biscuits from scratch.
And though I rarely do this
My sense was that if I did this
this morning;
touching the soft flour,
gently rolling the dough just enough,
using a round cookie cutter,
in each of these things,
I would somehow understand
better about who you are
and what it means
to do something from scratch.

Amen.1
