Hidden in the house apart
not venturing far from home
the disciples waiting
expectantly
just as the Master said
Timid, though they knew the Word
the reason that He had come
not yet preaching the Word
waiting for the Helper to
come
Their clay on Pentecost
fired in the kiln of those
flames
hardened, these men with
feet of clay
to walk as Disciples of
Christ
Out into the world
baptized from above
the Spirit moving with them
out into the world
sowing the seeds of Love

and
quote attributed to Corrie ten Bloom,
“I have a glove here in my hand. The glove cannot do anything by itself, but
when my hand is in it, it can do many things.
True, it is not the glove, but my hand in the glove that acts. We are gloves. It is the Holy Spirit in us who is the hand,
who does the job. We have to make room
for the hand so that every finger is filled.”
