Amazing God,
On this day in the middle of the week
In this moment in the middle of the morning
As we journey in the middle of the Lenten season
We stop and catch a view of both the sun’s brilliance and the moon’s light in the deep blue sky
And we are convicted to live this day with the intention to share space, share time, share gifts, share wisdom, share culture, share herstory, share laughter, share trauma, share healing, share tears, share power, share grace, share presence.
Abundant God,
If there is enough room for the sun and the moon to exist in harmony and right relationship – there is enough room for each of us. All of us.
Good lookin’ out, God.
Thank you and amen.
