GIVING THANKS
As a child I would get a toy
and it would be the focus
of all my attention
until it was no longer new and
then I began paying it little attention
and it would be the focus
of all my attention
until it was no longer new and
then I began paying it little attention
Life is like that as well.
We have so many things
we forget to give thanks for
because they are no longer new
sparkling, and the focus
of our attention
We have so many things
we forget to give thanks for
because they are no longer new
sparkling, and the focus
of our attention
Then something happens and
we begin to give thanks for that
which we once took for granted
like sitting next to someone
and holding their hand.

May we give thanks for
the times which remind us
that these are gifts
not to be taken for granted,
because someone,
somewhere
cannot just do them
for a moment,
they cannot do them at all
I give thanks
for what I am mindful of
and that which I am not.
May the universe continue
to remind me of that which
I have, like an old toy,
forgotten and taken for granted.

WALKING WITH ME
I may not always see
the spirits of those
walking with me,
but I hear them
encouraging me to serve,
and to be of service to others.

I hear the voice
that says I am here and
in the hardest of times says
we will get through this together.
The voice that
reminds me none of us is alone
in the storm.
The voice that reminds me
to be the guide for others
as I am being guided.

SOLID AND CALM
I remember reading
how the disciples woke Jesus
up in the middle of the storm
and all he said was
“Peace, be still.”
how the disciples woke Jesus
up in the middle of the storm
and all he said was
“Peace, be still.”
He did not panic
or stress
or worry,
He just laid there
solid and calm
and said
peace be will
or stress
or worry,
He just laid there
solid and calm
and said
peace be will
What if we did that
when others are
stressed and worried?
What if we are the ones
who are solid and calm?
What if we are the ones
who remembers
this too shall pass
amd models that for others?
when others are

We have the power
to be the solid and the calm
in the midst of the storm
and help others
make it through
to be the solid and the calm
in the midst of the storm
and help others
make it through

WHERE IS THE JOY
Sometimes we work
so hard
we feel exhausted.
so hard
we feel exhausted.
How many times
have I heard
or even said
I need a nap.

I need a nap.
Sometimes we are so busy
we think we are tired
but perhaps we should be asking
where is the joy

Where is the time
in the midst of it all
that we stop and
do something which energizes us,
and brings us joy.
in the midst of it all
that we stop and
do something which energizes us,
and brings us joy.
In the midst of
the busyness
may we remember
what brings us joy,
what energizes us
what makes us feel
as if we have napped.
