Thanks be to you, God, awesomely distant.Thanks for the searing of shooting stars,
the colors of the planets in the night sky,
the space and power beyond our perceiving
that sparkles the sky of our lives with your caring.
Thanks be to you, God, uncomfortably close,
giving life to dead dry things
-- the dance of pure stillness,
the beat of our hearts,
is your doing.
Thanks be to you, God, known in a body
who blessed as he lived,
who raised up our life
to be gathered as one,
reaching out for the kingdom.

A belated Thanksgiving to all from Del and Sheila in Wiscasset. We spent part of Thanksgiving Day at First UMC in Boothbay Harbor helping serve their Thanksgiving meal to many in that area. It was a wonderful experience and had a chance to spead our faith and food with others. Many of whom would have had a lonely Thanksgiving.
Peace,
Del and Sheila
