Lent 2023

Before

Sis. Sherri Thorpe

Before the trees full of leaves swaying in the breeze

Before the wind blowing and swirling in the air

Before the clouds billowy and white

Before the sun flaming bright

Before the grass growing plentiful and green

Before the oceans, rivers, lakes, and streams

Before the birds singing their songs and dreams

Before the ground expansive and strong

Before the flowers unfolding their soft and delicate beauty

Before the stars illuminating in the sky

Before the light of day and the night so deep

Before the water filled with every creature powerful and unique

Before the plants and seeds to nourish and feed

Before the animals walked the earth to roam and lead

 

Before the foundation of it all, we were all woven together in the Spirit of the Lord.

He imagined what our face, hair, hands, feet, arms, legs, and total being would be.

We were all created in his love before anyone created could see.

What we should see when we look at one another is an amazing sister and caring brother.

God made all of us for His purpose and plan.

All living together throughout the world on every land.

 

Dear Lord,

 

We are reminded thankful that you are love and created us before the world began. We choose your way, your will, and your plan. We choose to live together in your love sent from heaven from your heart above.
