Blessed
January 12, 2025
Blessed are those who trust in God
Blessed are those who love God with their whole heart and soul, their whole being
Blessed are those who humbly and graciously serve others.
Blessed are those whose hearts empathize with the suffering of the world
Blessed are those who care about the heartaches of others
Blessed are those who stand up for what is right and just letting their voices be heard for those who cannot speak
Blessed are those who give life through encouragement and positive words
Blessed those who give of themselves through their work and presence each day
Blessed those who endure suffering for the sake of others and for God’s holy name

Let there be
April 14, 2024
Let there be…light in the darkness
Let there be…love in the hearts of each person
Let there be…the breath of God flowing through all of creation
Let there be…the miracles of new life and healing
Let there be…gratitude and praise for the gifts God gives
Let there be…stillness and silence in awe and wonder
Let God’s love fill our hearts and open our hearts to see
God’s presence in all of creation
I see the spark of God’s love moving over the earth
connecting all of creation continuously
God says, Let there be…

Light of Love
May 28, 2023
In this world of chaos
In this darkness of night
A beam of light appears
Are we aware of the light
A lone star in the darkened sky
Light that leads us
Light that gives us hope
Our hearts resonate the joy
Our hearts open to love
The world in darkness has seen a bright light
The world in chaos has stopped to reflect
Only one thing remains
To live love so that all may live
