Melting Snow

At the Beginning of a New Week

Jamál (Beauty), 3 ‘Izzat (Might) 174 Badi - Sunday, September 10, 2017 CE

"O Son of My Handmaid!
Be not troubled in poverty nor confident in riches, for poverty is followed by riches, and riches are followed by poverty. Yet to be poor in all save God is a wondrous gift, belittle not the value thereof, for in the end it will make thee rich in God."

Bahá’u’lláh1

At the Beginning of a New Week

At the beginning of a new week,
I contemplate my blessings,
and I realize that,
although,
I am not wealthy in material resources
I have a roof over my head,
clothes on my back,
food on the table,
gas in the car,
electricity and an internet connection
to my apartment,
and a smart phone.

I am thankful
to God and Baha'u'llah
for these things and much more.
