Even the mundane and sundry details of a regular day can be sacred and sacramental; it all depends if we live our lives for ourselves, or for God and others. If when we prepare a meal, or file a report, dust a house or fill orders at a warehouse, we do so for God... then even that work becomes an offering, and thus sacred.

Nothing we do need be monotonous or needless, everything can be made into a gift. Even the times where it feels like we are just slogging through the day, going through the motions, can be made into more, if we know that all we do is for the Lord, and for those we love. Then the ordinary can become glorified and beautiful; the simple vessel becomes cherished and the simple gift becomes a joyful oblation. We can turn our daily murmurs to repeated hallelujahs by how we live and who we bestow our lives unto.

" And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ." Colossians 3:23-24
