Eastering God roll away the stones that block us and
are barriers we have built against each other.
Eastering God awaken us to where we have become frozen by fear and
hatred and stand guarding our own agendas, like tombs. Eastering God surprise us in ways we cannot
control or comprehend and turn our lives upside down. Eastering God as the jellybeans disappear and
the Easter dinner leftovers are used up, don’t let the mystery and marvel of
Your new life do the same. Invite us to
find new ways to be Your people in these days.
Help us be Mary-like witnesses, help us let go of clinging to our
theologies and opinions, help us stay open to an Eastering way of life that
will not conform to the gospels of this world that keep saying our worth is
based on the balance of a bank account or political party or religious
membership. No, let Your belovedness
ground and guide our living every day for the rest of the year. In the name of the One who is risen and risen
indeed in the present tense today!
Amen.
