In Praise of Mud and the Freedom of Childhood:
Father God,
Spring is a season of color,
new life, and mud. Lots of mud.
There's a reason many family homes
include a room named after this fact!
I am not a farmer or homesteader,
yet you wouldn’t know it
by looking at our laundry pile.
Rather than being frustrated
by the perpetual mess,
I praise you today, Lord,
for the vitality and spirit
of young children.
I praise you for the way they
splash in puddles, dig in dirt,
and stain every pair of pants
with schoolyard grass:
evidence of youth,
of play,
of freedom.
May I never take for granted
the safe spaces my children have
to be young and carefree.
I take a moment and ask
for your mercy to fall
on every child around the world
growing up in areas of unrest—
where this type of play is not
safe or possible.
Lord, have mercy.
Every time I am tempted
to wish the mess away, let it be
a reminder of the many gifts
my children enjoy,
and may I savor this season
of young childhood
while it lasts.
Amen.
