After 1 Corinthians 9:19-27
He
sews his tents
as
he watches the crowd
in
the market square.
They
move forward and back,
doing
what they’ve come to do:
to
buy, to sell, to see, to be seen,
to
make money, feed a family,
feed
themselves, grasp for more.
To
and fro they move
as
he sews his tents
and
waits, the needle
in
his hand suitable
for
piercing heavy cloth.
He
waits as he considers,
as
he watches, considers
that
he serves them more
than
a tentmaker.
He
makes good tents;
the
quality is the first attraction.
Talk
will come afterward,
but
the quality is first.

Just what I needed today. Thank you.
Beautiful, Glynn! I've always loved the idea that Paul never gave up doing his "ordinary" work when spreading the extraordinary Good News.
Blessings!
