Gifts of Grace


This is a second, still very rough draft of a poem I wrote this morning--a few hours before I heard Pastor Dave's children's sermon that communicated the same basic idea.

The party may be over
But the celebration has begun.
Presents are unwrapped
And trimmings tucked away.
Will we keep receiving gifts of grace,
Continue celebrating God’s giving in ordinary time?

And, yes, Epiphany is next on the liturgical calendar, but "ordinary time" occurred to me as I revised.  I think of the many ordinary times God has surprised me with His extraordinary grace.
