As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
-Ephesians 4:1-3
Three years ago I was sitting on the kitchen floor every morning. I was sober for the first time in forever, I was approaching my first anniversary as a widow, and a woman I loved had just ended a secret affair. I started my days with affirmations, prayers, and stretching.
It was a low time and the hard floor seemed like the right place. The kitchen is also the only room I seem to keep somewhat clean and functional.
The floor is a good place to get humble. It was the right place for me to begin rediscovering my self worth. I’m still on that journey of rediscovery, but I am in a better place now. The floor feels like a grounding place more than a metaphor for my life. It is the solid ground of Christ’s love that supports me.
