Small Gifts of Grace

Dear Lord,
A smile, a bit of humor, a touch --
these are such small gifts in a hurting world,
And yet, ungiven the world you love
hurts more.

Tomorrow let the radiance of your joy and love shine
through me as I remember
to give the smallest of gifts
as sacramental fragments of grace
to a hurting world.

  1. you're line "a bit of humor" ...are gifts for a hurting world make my mind spin. should we be the comedians at the water cooler, instead of the condescending christian at work. shouldn't we be the ones to model joy and even laughter. why aren't there more professional christian comedians? I don't think a lack of material is the issue. that's a joke.
