There are times
and places
Rooms
And faces
Welcoming
Open
Bidding us
Rest

Life is so busy,
hectic,
we forget the room
so messy
For such a guest

Yet
the One who knocks
on the door of the heart
Cares not
About messiness
Or brokeness

I hear the words
“It’s OK,
to be broken”

Yet, all too soon
The solace, and the rest
Tunes our heart
Into divine life
And leaving
refreshed,
and transformed

Life, job, caregiving
Losing, loving, gaining, giving
Are all transformed
and shine
in the glory of God the Father

Transfigured like the Son
Blest by the Spirit
God incarnate, three in One

Teach us to see
The way life shines
Tune our hearts
Into thine
So we may be transformed
Changed
And place your shine
in our lives
