Wednesday, March 17

by Mary Jane Link

Someone recently sent me this poem— The author is a young Canadian man, Mike Cumberland...

A Canadian New Year

At times you will feel the weight of the thwart on your shoulders—
There will be many miles of portages.
Remember, there will be a time to remove your canoe—
Your burdens will be swept away by the river's currents.
And—when you step into the river it will always be a different river—
And you—my friend—will always be a different you.
Gracious God, give us comfort as we remember that you bear our burdens. Amen.
