You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, and swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing, and grace before I dip the pen in ink.

G. K. Chesterton in Different Seasons by Dale Turner

 

To Practice This Thought:
Begin each new activity with a brief grace.
