Pioneers


Abraham responds
to God’s call to follow and
in faith
enters a new home
named
Canaan.

Nicodemus responds
to Jesus’ questions and
learns faith
will help him
enter a new home
named
the kingdom of God.

May we respond
to your Word
with faith
that opens our eyes
to see
we already have a home
in your presence.

The Southerner's Snow Serenity Prayer

God,

Give me the serenity to accept the things that must be cancelled outright,
The creativity to re-schedule the things that just need to be postponed,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Amen.
