What's Mine To Do?

a prayer-poem by Rev. AndreaGrace, penned on February 15, 2024

The situation seems so big

            and overwhelming.

The options can seem so bountiful

            or so limited

and so I simply ask:

WHAT’S MINE TO DO?

I let it go

and

wait

paying attention

until

The-Still-Small-Voice-Inside-Me speaks.

I pray for the “willingness AND ability”

            to follow through…

sometimes I need courage, too.

The action can seem so small:

            Text her.

            Send him a book.

            Invite her over for a cup of tea.

            Call that person.

            Introduce those two people.

            Welcome someone – putting aside differences and a hurt-full past.             Say NO!

            WAIT until things become clearer.

It’s like throwing a pebble in the ocean…

            I have no idea of the ripple effects.

It’s like tying a knot in a rope…

            I have no idea of the other knots that create the safety net.

It’s like touching the first domino…

            I have no idea of the chain reaction.

But…

I can trust.

I DO trust…

that my small part

can AND will make a difference

in the lives of others…

Bringing more healing love to this world…

one life at a time,

one day at a time.
