Overwhelming Life

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Have you hugged your peace today?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

You flood me with input such that it momentarily overwhelms me.
Situations in church life that disturb my peace.
Drama among family and friends.
A season of joy that turns stressful.
The latest gossip presented as news.

The ongoing beauty of nature.
The pleasures of my hobby.
Easy routines of daily life.
Household and garden tasks that satisfy.
New books with stimulating ideas and images.
Good food and conversation.

Your constant presence while I try to integrate it all.
I think a larger central processing unit would make a great Christmas gift.
How about it?
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Your feet make you look like a dirty dozen tonight. I’d better wash them, especially yours, Peter.”

[No, not exactly what He said.]
