December 19th


On that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Ethiopia, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea.  Isaiah 11:11

on this day,
let us reach out
to the elderly
whose slow steps
make them targets
in crosswalks;
to the little kids
knocked over by bullies
every morning;
to teenagers
whose fears hide
in their wardrobes;
to the lonely, the forgotten,
the refugees, the rough sleepers;
on this day,
and every day,
let us reach out.
