Cooking Pot

Zechariah 14:20

On that day, HOLY TO THE LORD
Will be inscribed on the bells of the horses,
And the cooking pots in the Lord’s house
Will be like sacred bowls in front of the altar.

I wonder what you want to cook
In this old cooking pot today, Lord.

It’s the ordinary days
That you use, Lord.
It’s the ordinary patterns
Of rising and eating
Of walking and sleeping
That you hold as special.
Another day of grace
Another day for gratitude.

It’s the simple ingredients,
That you use, Lord.
A smile and a kind word
A chance to help
A humility to be helped
A moment of laughter
A tear shared
Each turned into a silent prayer.
And, as the incense rises,
May this old cooking pot
Become a sacred bowl before your altar
HOLY TO THE LORD.  AMEN
