Closing Words

Susan Manker-Seale

Much of ministry is a benediction

Much of ministry is a benediction --
A speaking well of each other and the world --
A speaking well of what we value:

     honesty
     love
     forgiveness
     trust

A speaking well of our efforts --
A speaking well of our dreams.
This is how we celebrate life:
Through speaking well of it,
Living the benediction,
and becoming as a word
well-spoken.
