Sometimes there are days when you just have to go out in
public looking a sweaty mess. I try to
limit these days, however! Today I had
to get stuff done, and the fact that I was a mess after working in the yard,
mowing the lawn and laying down wood chips, was a nuisance, but it didn’t keep
me from running off to do what needed to be done.
Dear God, we try to be at our best, clean, appropriately
dressed and calm, but there are days when things have to get done at certain
times, whether the lawn was just mowed or not.
You accept us no matter what we look (or smell) like. Help us to accept ourselves, too! Amen.
