Every day I climb a little bit
of my spiritual mountain.
It’ll take me the whole of my lifetime
to reach the top.

This morning I have reached
a tiny ledge,
a place of safety.
After an arduous climb,
it’s time to simply rest on my ledge,
and bask in the presence of My God.

This is no time to look ahead
and consider the great distance
I have yet to travel.
It is a time to relax and wonder at
all of the gifts
that My God has showered me with.

It is a time to contemplate
the beauty of where I am right now
and to see how far I have come
in the company of My God.

This is a time to exclaim,
“Lord, it is wonderful for me to be here!”
