Thought for the Week of 12/24-12/31

As we enter the time between holidays and holydays perphaps it would be good to recall a blessing. Again it is taken from Night Visions by Jan Richardson.

BLESS THEM
who wait with us
who labor with us
who cry out with us

BLESS THEM
who know our limits
who push us beyond them
who see through us

BLESS THEM
who call us to our strengths
who tend us in our weakness
who dress each ragged wound

BLESS THEM
who laugh in the face of convention
who weep for our own pain
who bid us come and live.
