 REFLECTION

If I make of my life an offering and a dedication to God, then this dedication will include all my entanglements and involvements. There follows, then, a radical change over my entire landscape and miraculously I am free at my center. It is for this reason that it is well, again and again, to reestablish my dedication, to make repeatedly an offering of my life. I must keep my dedication up to date with my experiencing.                                                                            

Howard Thurman, “Life, an Offering to God”in The Mood of Christmas and Other Celebrations, pg 71

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.

We are the vessels of God’s voice, her words

blowing through us, bidding us to tell the tales

that only we can speak.

REFLECTION
The point of the resurrection…is that the present bodily life is not valueless just because it will die…What you do with your body in the present matters because God has a great future in store for it…What you do in the present—by painting, preaching, singing, sewing, praying, teaching, building hospitals, digging wells, campaigning for justice, writing poems, caring for the needy, loving your neighbor as yourself—will last into God’s future.

N.T. Wright, Surprised by Hope:

Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church, p 192
