Poetry by Sr. Melannie Svoboda, SND: “The to-do list”

The to-do list

Things on our to-do list:
return library books,
  buy birthday card,
pick up eggs and milk,
  cash check,
make dental appointment,
  mop kitchen floor,
stop at dry cleaners,
  get oil change,
return that phone call,
  write that report.

Things that should be on our to-do list:
become a kinder person,
  trust God more,
pray everyday,
  forgive that offense,
say you’re sorry,
  reach out to someone in need,
spend time with loved ones,
  enjoy God’s creation,
grow up.

********************
For reflection:

  1. What is on your to-do list? (Your list can be written down or in your head.)
  2. What tasks are you being called to do as a Christian?

Suggested Scripture:

1. Psalm 27, Trust in God

2. Matthew 22:34-40
