A Sunday Morning Muse prompted during and woven after attending an online worship service this morning. Enjoy.
~ Limber and Lead ~
some days I am limber
others, my limbs are
like lead, a mystery
some days my spirit is heavy
dark, stiff, sluggish - while
others dawn shining and
lighthearted, a miracle
living in Christ is like that too
free will yields both evil and good
darkness and light - limber and lead
a huge responsibility to find the balance
for bridging gaps from broken to whole
complicated, challenging journeys all
most days are somewhere in between
as is true of almost every extreme
on life’s spreading continuum
let us strive to do better
as we walk toward the light
may we model Christ’s loving
embrace of hurting people
teaching with kindness
lessons of inclusion
anchored in love
seeking justice rooted in mercy
consequence fitting the crime
embedded with efforts to
change its root cause
cure the hopeless
help those lost
destroyed &
destroying
MotherFather Godde in whose image we are made
in whom we live and move and have our being
please, create in me a clean, pure heart
and renew a right spirit within me
Thanks Be To Godde
