Mondays can be tough. It's good to remember that others have had it much harder.
Today we honor Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna in the 2nd Century. He was burned at the stake for refusing to denounce his faith. Maybe the most amazing thing was the prayer he gave as he was dying, which included these words:
"I bless you that you have thought me worthy of this day and hour, to be numbered among the martyrs . . ."
I can't imagine being thankful for getting to burn at the stake. Maybe today I should be grateful for having work and for any opportunity I have to share Christ's love.
