Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Emma Nickel

by Rev. Emma Nickel

Blessed are the ones who lose track of time and never wear a watch.
And, blessed are the ones whose Google calendars are a jampacked rainbow of colors.

Blessed are the ones who fly by the seat of their pants.
And, blessed are the ones who carry all the groceries in one trip.

Blessed are the ones have more friends than they can count.
And, blessed are the ones who yearn for more connections while the sting of loneliness creeps in.

Blessed are the ones who sit in the pews every Sunday.
And, blessed are the ones who haven’t darkened the door in a long while.

Blessed are we, whose God is merciful, abounding in hope and steadfast love.

Rev. Emma Nickel
