Blessing of Hope
Words of wisdom from artist, writer, and ordained minister Jan Richardson. My sense of hope can get a little wobbly on a Monday. It's the day when our present circumstances can feel the most endless to me. But I keep learning how blessedly stubborn hope can be—true hope, real hope, hope that is something quite other than wishful thinking. Hope seems to keep working in me like a deep muscle memory, setting me in motion when I don't know how to move on my own. If your own hope has been getting wobbly, this is for you.BLESSING OF HOPESo may we knowthe hope
For One Who is Exhausted
I ran across this poem/blessing today on social media. It seems to speak to the feelings of many as we cope with stressors in this challenging year.
You have traveled too fast over false ground;Now your soul has come, to take you back.
Take refuge in your senses, open upTo all the small miracles you rushed through.
