I keep saying, praying to be more like you,
but I cannot be you, I can only take your gifts to me, your example and use them as my living light.

To live with your blessing inside of me and use them out in the world.

That is all I can do.

I pray for the willingness and the openness to do that.

This other realm, I don't know it, I can't find a way to comprehend it,
I pray to just believe it exists and live the mystery of not knowing.

and I pray for the faith to trust in life, beyond death, even though it doesn't make any sense to me.


Just to let go and trust in something I can not comprehend,

and then live here and now.

Amen.


I'm thankful I was given the gift of you.
