SPECKS
OF DUST
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “I will make your descendants
like dust on the ground; when men succeed in counting the specks of dust on the
ground then they will be able to count your descendasnts.” (Genesis 13: 2…18)
Reflection. There was a delightful
Chinese family at our celebration last Saturday and the thought cross my mind
that there are billions like them living and dead who have passed through this
earth. And here are billions of others so that when you think of all the people
there have ever been your mind cannot hold on to the thought. We are all
chidren of God even if most of us have a fuzzy idea what that means. From the
time of Abraham God has been building a people within this people who will act
as leaven to transform “the whole batch.” And even this number is beyond
counting. Some acknowledge Him and belong through baptism to his church but
many do not. These others are also touched by light and beauty and truth and
they too transform our world.
Prayer. We give thanks, Lord, when
we contemplate your creation, your sharing of life with countless people. Help
us to reverence your work and respect our planet so tht it continues to be home
for millions yet to be born. Amen.
