Every moment
You hold all things Together-- Spinning electrons In unseen atoms And spinning galaxies Light years away. This year Spinning at times Into what seemed Pandemonium, You held life together. When business dead-ended, When paychecks stopped, With car trouble, Leaking shingles and Even the final goodbyes Of death, This year you Pressed us Close to your heart. Upheaval, change, need-- Tools of your grace; Grace that teaches our Souls and Fills these days in Unexpected ways With your unending love. |
I have never attended a double funeral, packed a lunch five days a week at 5:30 a.m., or run a trencher. Until this year. I have never prayed so long and so hard for everyday needs, received so much, or felt God's grace buoy me through months of tumbling waves. Until this year. You have done all things well, my God and Father, and I thank you. |
