My Time Out Chair is writing poetry
And listening to Bill’s original music
Together we are beauty in the chaos
I believe in us
We push each other toward
Excellence
My Time Out Chair I carry all around me
It is essential but unseen to the eye
It is mindful
It is soulful
It is ordinary and divine
It is the Love of God
Through Jesus my savior
Who found me as a broken child
And throughout my life has healed me
Through the power of the Holy Spirit
I was once broken for you
Now I hold my head up high and am learning how to pray
Out loud
Let us Pray…
Dear Gracious God…
In this chaotic world please let each and every one of us
Grab onto the life preserver that is only you
Please help us to find our own signs of Beauty
And where there is none please help us to create some
By the kindnesses we can offer strangers
By the gifts and service each one of us can offer to another in need
Please help us to hold our tongue when we are tempted to lash out
With words that can be every bit as damaging as a fist or a gun
Please help us to come together united as a congregation putting aside
Our egos and including everyone in this journey of growing and learning
We love you Lord Jesus with all our hearts and souls
And in the times when we don’t feel it please light our way with
Your beauty and grace
Let us pray together the way your son taught us how to pray
Our Father….Who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day your daily bread
And forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
And the power and the glory
Forever and ever
Amen
