Tenable

Our lives tell a story.
There is a gospel that
the living of our days proclaims.

What is the story
to which your existence
and purpose point?

Pray that, when your
last breath is drawn,
the narrative remembered
is one that hopes the world
into a better place;

that your words, actions,
and even your presence,
in some small and tangible way,

birthed love, revealed grace,
and added an imperfect row
to the warp and woof
of the universe's tapestry
of mercy and forgiveness.
