On Leaving it Right There

So, I found this poem and thought that I would share it with you.  It will be in the bulletin on Sunday, but I could not wait.  It speaks of the things we hold so tight as to blind ourselves to the finest in life. In the time of preparation, enjoy.  

He told me that once

He forgot himself & his

Heart opened up like a

Door with a loose latch

& everything fell out &

He tried for days to put

It all back in the proper

Order but finally he

Gave up & left it there

In a pile & loved

Everything equally.

Brian Andreas

 I wish you a season of "everything falling out" and pray that we might all have the wisdom to give up and leave whatever it is in a pile.    With love and blessings, David
