On the eve of Thanksgiving,
I pause to reflect.
About all that is
happening, a moment of introspect.
The last eleven
months has given much to dissect.
I know the moments
of joy and days almost perfect.
Graduation,
birthdays, where laughter was the sound effect.
And I know moments
of pain, hurt, dejected, and neglected.
Both the good and
ugly sit side-by-side in my heart unchecked.
What do I really
make of tomorrow, my mind questions and objects?
How do we live
when it feels like constant change and lessening respect?
Perhaps I can’t
solve all the pain and hurt and less than perfect-ness,
But I can show up
with a grace, curiosity, and thoughtful intellect.
I can commit to
being a conduit of God’s liberating love as prayerful affect.
While I don’t
propose that this would all the ills of the world correct,
I do, deep in my
heart, trust this way of life can help us all connect.
So, on this day
before turkey and laughter and love let us all interject,
A way of being
God’s people and honoring all as beloved we are called to protect.
I pray that each
person reading this would sense God’s presence, peace, and love as we prepare
our hearts, homes, tables, and lives to give thanks tomorrow. With God’s love to you all. Amen.
