keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. otherwise, i may have too much and disown you and say, who is the LORD? or i may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
- proverbs 30:8-9
in time to come, in case people wonder, did she have much? yes, beyond all she ever asked.
did she do much? yes, more than she planned to see and do and taste and live.
did she go places? yes, places farther than she read and dreamed of.
was she happy? unutterably, ineffably so. not because of fullness of aspect but because of the perfection of an imperfect life. not in unalloyed laughter but in her merciful God.
