“Prosper them with your blessing…”
From the CR’s Office of Compline
What is a blessing?
Is it always packaged nicely?
Does it sing sweetly?
Or can it sting?
I’ve discovered that prosperous blessings
are all that and more.
Abundant? Perhaps.
Graceful? Sometimes.
Painful? Most always.
They can feel as gentle as a late Spring rain,
or smell as a sweet as a Yorkshire rose.
Always, they reveal truth and always imparting
God’s healing grace.
So I’ll take mine with a smile and a tear.
