O Holy One, now let us let go – as your servant Jimmy Carter departs in peace, after his one hundred years, for he has given and worked, spoken honest and faithful words, led our country with humility, taught Sunday School, built so many homes, and opened ways to health care all around the world,
well done, well done, this good and faithful servant.
We receive his departure, sad, but with such gratitude, that we honor his gift to us of keeping lit a light of hope for all the earth.
We will try because of him to bring health with equal care to all people, protect creation, demand wisdom and servanthood of those with elected power, and build houses of love for all of your children, who need the shelter we can give.

When asked if there was anything Trump could learn from Carter, Biden replied: “Decency. Decency. Decency.” -- nordy
I haven't watched the video yet, but It seems that quite a few people have learned how to push TFG's buttons; he could well be in for an unpleasant as well as ineffective period in office. It doesn't look like smooth sailing for congressional "Republicans" either. -----Alan

ReplyDeleteO Holy One, now let us let go –
as your servant Jimmy Carter
departs in peace,
after his one hundred years,
for he has given and worked,
spoken honest and faithful words,
led our country with humility,
taught Sunday School,
built so many homes,
and opened ways to health care
all around the world,
well done, well done,
this good and faithful servant.
We receive his departure, sad,
but with such gratitude,
that we honor his gift to us of keeping lit
a light of hope for all the earth.
We will try because of him
to bring health with equal care
to all people, protect creation,
demand wisdom and servanthood
of those with elected power,
and build houses of love
for all of your children,
who need the shelter we can give.
amen
Thank you, Listener, that's a lovely poem.

It was so mild today that I was able to open the window in the afternoon. January thaw a few days early?
