good morning Lord
it is a good morning
because
You Are
church bells sound
all over the world
for us to hear
loud and clear
the air is fresh
feels like
Presence
hope is emerging
surging
yet
so much we don't understand
about loved ones lost
about life, disease, death
the natural and unnatural
course of things
but what is true
rings every bell
You
emerged
alive
now You gladly
joyously
turn on the sunlight
over the winter wetlands
soon the green shoots
will soar past the gray
the birchbark will light up
birds will swoop and sing
a blue patch of sky
opens up wide
around the clouds—
a smile from the upper reaches
so
we can live freely
in deep rooted joy
knowing there is ultimate
infinite
Life
God
because of You
the blue
is above
always above the gray
and today
it is
breaking through
the light shines in the darkness
in our living room
our classroom
our hospital room
our dorm room
our prayer closet
our street corner
our beating heart
and the darkness
has not
will not
cannot
overcome it
You have made it so
and
so it is

Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11
Happy Easter friend! Whether this is a day where you're surrounded with family, or alone, or facing hard things in life, we're thinking of you.
God's peace, mercy and grace be with you dear one,
Always with love,
