Here is a blessing that I came across in my reading. May it speak to us in these turbulent and challenging times. Happy thanksgiving.

 

-Pastor Steve

 

May God bless you.

granting you discomfort when confronted with easy answers,

half-truth and superficial relationships,

so that you may live out of the depth of your heart.

 

May God bless you with wrath when faced with injustice, oppression and exploitation of people and the earth,

so that you may involve yourselves in the struggle for justice, equality and peace.

 

May God bless you with tears, you shed for those who suffer,

so that you may extend your hand, to comfort them and turn their pain into joy.

 

May God bless you with the foolish belief, that your actions make a real difference in the world,

so that you may do things, of which others say that they are impossible to be done.

Amen.
