Bulletin: Ascension

A Mother’s Prayer

Dear Lord, it’s such a hectic day

With little time to stop and pray,

For life’s been anything but calm

Since you called me to be a mom.

Running errands, matching socks

Building dreams with building blocks

Cooking, cleaning, and finding shoes

And other stuff that children lose.

Fitting lids on bottled bugs

Wiping tears and giving hugs.

A stack of last week’s mail to read

So where’s the quiet time I need?

Yet when I steal a minute, Lord,

Just at the sink or ironing board

To ask the blessings of Your grace

I see then, in my small one’s face

That you have blessed me all the while

And I stop to kiss that precious smile.

Grow in Love, expand that Love, practice Love, strengthen Love, and finally, be Love and merge in the illimitable Love, which is God.

Let us become visible to the entire world as charitable disciples of Christ.

We are to be reflectors of Christ’s Light to this dark world. We are to radiate Christ’s compassion to all we meet in the marketplace, job site, and in church. This is not a mere invitation. This is the command of Jesus that we demonstrate compassionate love to the very end of our lives.
