“Sunday Ponderings”
My mind often ponders
on Sunday between the prelude
and the Sacrament
about the meanderings
of my mind during the week.
Did I maneuver off the beaten path
too much or did I spend
enough time in the scriptures,
mediating and praying along the way?
Sometimes the shivers of past sins
clamor for attention before
I can yield them to Him
before the Sacrament
comes to me. I think
about all these things
more intensely, more profoundly,
praying and hoping
I know the true meaning
of the Sacrament, Christ’s Atonement
and sacrifice for me
and everyone else on the planet.
The moment I touch the bread
or water to my lips,
I sense a relief that I am enough,
that I can move on once again
for the week, knowing
I will continue to plow forward,
more diligently, knowing
that I must do more to earn
the grace that He proffered me,
knowing that it is I
who must align with Him
because He is already there,
ready for me to come unto Him,
arms always outreach
for an eternal embrace with me.
