Limber and Lead

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
