Encourage Others - 3

we each can be that balm

we each can offer witness

encourage others

in word, in deed

it doesn’t have to be

something big

little things matter

use the gifts of the Spirit

be the presence of God.

flowers in the darkness

we see joy in morning

light in our sorrows

flowers in the darkness

shining to God

we become vessel of hope

tear cups to bowls

brimming with God’s love

wanting to share this blessing

to be poured out

we see light in shadows

joy around the corner

life in the dying

we are reborn.
