What Gifts Shall We Bring?

Two light-skinned hands, cupped in a gesture of offering, hold a small yellow daisy-like flower out toward the viewer. Out of focus behind the hands we see the arms and yellow shirt of the person holding out the flower.

What gifts shall we bring to share our love for one another?
Shall we bring food for the table?
Shall we bring our voice to affirm those who through years of oppression are claiming their voice again?
Shall we bring our hands to hold one another close to our hearts? 
Shall we bring our tears to weep with those in pain?
Shall we bring our laughter to lift hearts with courage in the face of fear? 
Shall we bring our song to inspire hope?
Shall we bring our tithes to build a place where beloved community can thrive?

Whatever gifts we bring, may they be centered in love for everyone traveling these paths of uncertainty. May our gifts be given with generous open hearts and received with the fullness of love.
