We are children of dust, the earth, the dirt! You have breathed into us Life, but we all too soon turn away to death!
And, our parents, bless them, have received from their parents what they received from their parents?! We begin with a broken cart, full of garbage they have collected. Show us the dumpsters on our path.
But, occasionally they have noticed the delicacies and delights You have scattered along the detours we make as we turn aside. And they have collected them to pass on to us. Open our eyes to see the beautiful and to collect it and share, passing it on. Thank You!
Good and bad we have inherited?! Do not be too hard on us. Lead us in paths of light. Turn us from darkness. Do not abandon us, please! Have mercy! Patience we need from You. Jesus.
Good AND Bad we inherit. Habits. Patterns. Attitudes. Behaviors. Perspectives. Cultures. We can, with His help, sort, select, shed, share from our hand-me-down heirlooms. Choose wisely.
