the world weighs heavy

our brokenness wearies us

and yet God is here

shadows threaten us

darkness presses on all sides

God’s light continues

we hunger and thirst

longing to be satisfied

abundance is here

life comes as a gift

whether we notice or not

it’s time to rejoice

having received

we freely share what we have

God’s abundant life

God’s love shining through

filling our lives and our world

our response is praise

(and for Easter)

new life out of death?

it seems so improbable

surprise! God is here!
