Friendship Thank-You
July 28, 2024
I do not understand Lord
This gift you’ve given me
The sacredness of friendship
The opening to be.
I only come to thank-you
I only come to pray
Take this friend you’ve given
And bless him Lord each day
If the world grows cold around me
And the nights so lonely feel
Remind me I am loved Lord
Remind me this is real
And bless with gentle presence
And do not let us fear
And Lord help us remember
In your presence you are near.

Reasoned rationale is not always right.
Keep the doors ajar.
Keep the windows cracked open
even when it rains
because we live with, we need, possibilities in our veins.
Mary Mollison, CSA asked: “What if…?”
Bobbie Kennedy wondered: “Why not?”
Martin Luther King, Jr. proclaimed: “I have a dream…”
We, too, live with possibilities in our veins,
rousing risk amidst reality
in hope …
