EMILY: "Does anyone ever realize life while they live it...every, every minute?"
STAGE MANAGER: "No.
Saints and poets maybe...they do some.”
--"Our Town" by Thornton Wilder, Act III
Wondrous Gift by Evelyn Stell*
Prayer of Confession:
Gracious God, we confess our slowness to embrace the gift of life you offer. You offer springtime to our souls, but we prefer the winter of coldness and indifference. We continue in guilt and self-doubt, rather than rejoicing in knowing your love for us. We forget that we have been baptized into the death and resurrection of Christ. Afraid to die, we cannot fully live. Forgive us our coldness, self-doubt, forgetfulness and fear, we pray. Amen.
