Godspeed Gennaro

When I sit on the porch with a glass of iced tea and look out across the freshly mowed grass, I am thankful for the small pleasure of a job well done. Part of what makes our country great are those small and common jobs we do with satisfaction and with joy.

Make this my offering to you today, Lord. Give me some small things to do, and make me glad to do them. Help me to do them well and to add to the grand total of a great nation, a nation where work is a privilege and workmanship is a source of pride. Amen.
