This year we are all

Frayed around the edges

Wheels wobble and threaten to roll off

Relationships can be tense and anxious at times

Fingers pointing, fault lines drawn

Whose fault is it anyways?

We’ve all inherited trouble 

All have passed trouble along

Instead of blaming with pointed fingers 

Instead of self-protection and mental isolation

We can acknowledge that we are all in this together

Imperfect and in need of mercy

From God

Others and ourselves

The humble road is the path to life

The humble hand extends mercy and

Receives mercy

The humble heart

Has room to expand

To grow love

And give it away
