Alliteration strikes again. Of course, it's Wordsmith Wednesday.
Quotidian. A great word that keeps popping up lately in my reading.
Mr. Webster defines quotidian (kwōˈtidēən/) as an adjective---- occurring every day. Many think of it as the ordinary----the everyday---possibly occurring so routinely that we don't give it much thought.
Mundane is probably a synonym of quotidian though I haven't confirmed.
A quotidian schedule. A ritual. A routine.
A quotidian cuppa is certainly a part of my morning ritual.
As far as routines go, I learned those from a master---Daddy. You could set your clock by him. The sense of routine and order bode him well, especially as he aged. Routine offered security. Habits long practiced kept him focused.
- ....LORD; in the morning my prayer comes before you. (Psalm 88:13)
- My soul waits for the Lord More than the watchmen for the morning; (Psalm 130:6)
- In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. (Psalm 5:3)
Quiet time with an open Bible, more that a morning ritual-------scripture is more of a love letter from God to our quotidian lives which give hopes to our little corner of the world.
A Quotidian Quest of Quality.
