Today’s Reflection:  The most life-giving elements of our human existence are not the heart transplants or moon shots. They are the unnoticed conversations with the lonely ones; the listening ear we offer to the hurting ones; the word of affirmation that lifts a veil of fear.— Margaret Silf

Morning Offering: 12. 02. 23

Today’s Reflection: Lord,
I hear you inviting me to go all in,
but at the same time,
I feel my fist clenching tighter around
my last two precious coins.
I want to serve you,
and at the same time
I fear what giving you all of me might mean.
Grant me the grace to feel your magnanimous love
flow unfettered through my limbs
bringing them new energy, life, and purpose
so I may release the tightness of my grip
and finally go all in.
Amen — Gretchen Crowder
