April 20th

"As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience . . . Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." Colossians 3:12, 14

breaking your own rule, you

gather up scraps of justice, 

some pieces of hope, a few 

snippets of grace, some

lace woven from kindness,

to mend and patch our 

faded, frayed love into a

garment of many gifts 

fit for everyday wear.
