Sing Praise
Sing praise for the rain.
Sing praise for a world of color.
Sing praise for the bursting blooms.
Sing praise for cool mornings.
Sing praise for beauty on the back porch.
Sing praise for the gifts of today.

Together
 |
| Sunlight and Shadow, May 2022 |
Together we walk
in patterns created by
sunlight and shadow
There was a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas today. We are miles and miles from Uvalde, and yet, we share a commonality with the community of Uvalde - we are human; we are people. We are walking through this life together - whether we recognize it or not. We are not untouched by the tragedy- we can turn off the news, we can give our attention to something else, but our hearts know. Each child was someone's son, daughter, sibling, grandchild, cousin, or friend - each child is beloved. Last night on my evening walk, I stepped through the intricate patterns created by the fading light shining though the trees above. Our lives seem to be marked with these patterns - cast by the light that shines and the darkness that will not overcome it.

A prayer for when we feel twisted
 |
| Dandelion, May 2022 |
Help us Lord,
when our words become twisted,
when our good intentions become twisted,
when our self control becomes twisted,
when our recollections become twisted,
when the peace between us becomes twisted,
when __________ becomes twisted,
May the curves be straightened, and the rough places made smooth. (Luke 3:5 NLT)
In your mercy, Amen.

When I truly look
there are signs of your presence
and unfailing love
* I took this photo as I walked in for my shift with the food pantry. The clients who come to shop at the pantry have guidelines for the amount and kinds of food they can have. Today, a volunteer was pushing a client's cart through the pantry and dropped a few extra items in the basket as they walked along saying, "Happy Birthday" and "Merry Christmas." There was a sweet playfulness in the way he bent the rules for a young mother with her 8 week old infant.
