Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you. 1 Timothy 4:14

be one
He said in summer.
let the heat
melt hard edges
that grew
in the midst of winter.
steal away
in early morn.
let rest and play
part the sea.
seek the wonder.
gather memories.
scatter seeds.
let the giving
of thanks
bleed
into puddles of paint.
the saints
need you refreshed
do not neglect
the gift
He gave you
nor the gathering
with one another
in the dog days
of summer.

Amen.
