Not Neglect My Gift
Read: 1 Timothy 4:13-15
Unto the stars I looked
No like could be the place again
Lost in self-being and will
The created was my apocalypse
When we went on our first Confirmation retreat, our first assignment was to listen to the night. That day I was starting to think about giving up my art of words. Somehow, though, the stars conveyed to me that I should tell the story of my existence through poetry. That I should “not neglect my gift.”
Dear God, help us to be ever mindful of the gifts we have received, and how they can help, whether it be mentally, physically, or emotionally. Amen
Emily Stowell
