I peel carrots, fold clean laundry, sweep and mop the kitchen floor, pull up the bedsheets, sit in the carpool line, pull weeds. Might they be gifts to my Creator?
Where is my life divided into sacred and secular? There is no such life. Daily, I see and speak to the one who never leaves my side.
Ann Voskamp, The Holy Experience blog, speaks of her life as a 'one piece cloth.' No fragmenting. No tearing. No seams. Our existence yearns to be just that: a one piece cloth.
"Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece. They said therefore to one another, 'Let us not tear it.' (John 19:23).
Too long, the fabric of this life has been torn in two: secular and sacred. Yet such a dichotomy is mere facade, mirage.
God is everywhere. He is the continuous thread, weaving the world and all that is within it together.
"For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things."
