There’s a lot on our minds these days, Holy One.
It boils up, spills over.
We want everyone to mind –
mind their own business,
mind their Ps and Qs,
mind their manners.
To be in their “right” mind.
Those aren’t bad things to care about; each has its time and place.
But they aren’t the only ones; not always the most important.
Forgive us for minding way too much about some things, and not nearly enough about others. Remind us of another way to mind.
“Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus,” Paul wrote. That mind. Let the mind of Christ be in us, we pray. Amen.
