‘Your hands have made and fashioned me;
give me understanding that I may learn
your commandments.’
Psalm 119:73
you gathered us from
the dust of creation’s foundation
to craft us in your spitting image:
hands to lift others out of despair,
hearts to welcome the shattered ones
of all those around us,
feet to walk along all who have been
cast aside by families and friends,
eyes to see the worry wrinkles,
ears to hear the silent cries,
souls to be poured out
for the healing of our world
and
we spend this holy season,
as we do every season,
denying these gifts believing
that is what is best for us
