“We wait, our Father, until at last something of thy strength becomes our strength, something of thy heart becomes our heart, something of thy forgiveness becomes our forgiveness. We wait, O God, we wait.” ~ Howard Thurman
The quote above is from a “Never Late” post from Our Daily Bread (HERE.) Not all of us can take the “culture was different here for its own good reasons” perspective that the pastor referenced was able to embody.
Hmmmm… How does reading the “Never Late” ODB post – read in the context of our recent climate crisis commentary – strike you?
- Perhaps efforts to Inform, Imagine and Act from the last CP post can happen once “thy heart becomes our heart?”
- Maybe the 10 Ways to Confront Climate Without Losing Hope article provides opportunities to act, even if some consider it later than ideal?
May our days ahead be filled with Spirit-filled ways of making positive differences in our world, even if requiring a little longer wait than some might appreciate …
