twenty-nine


“By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance,
    O God of our salvation;” Psalm 65:5a

in the first-generation
immigrant who sets up
a grocery for new arrivals;
in the former athlete
who graduated from prison,
and now mentors young people
from his mistakes;
in the big sister who
patiently teaches her
little brother how to knit,
we find your awesome deeds
announcing your grace.
