Good Morning, God,
The headlines have spoken of how, with the shutdown over, "happy routines" return. Included in these happy routines are visits to National Parks and Monuments, offices back in buildings where they belong, environmental and engineering folks taking care of the natural things in life, and schoolchildren being able to take their full trip to Washington, DC, and surrounding national landmarks.
Ah, the "happy routines"; normalcy: commerce, community, and caring.
But, Lord, is this what our lives together is all about-everyone going along happy in their routines? We know that many of us weren't unhappy that our democracy was on the line during the shutdown; many of us were unhappy because our own routines were shut down.
Gracious God, may we all take a look at our happy routines and see if, just perhaps, we ought to re-consider our priorities.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
