We Are

We are
Mind, body, and spirit
We are
The living breath of the Creator God
We are
Praying, breathing, hurting, healing
We are
Different but similar, destined yet eternal
We are
One root with countless branches

We are
Well fed, full of knowledge yet full of questions
We are
Confused, imperfect but loved
We are
Food and shelter for the homeless
We are
Light bearers for lost souls
We are
Beloved children of God's kingdom

We are
A contradiction to pop culture but part of it
We are
Poets, musicians, teachers, moms and dads
We are
Office workers, shop keepers, factory workers
We are
Your neighbors, friends, family, but look closer, listen
We are
Not always who you'd expect

We are
Living in shelters and on the street
We are
In need of a shower and sitting in your pew
We are
Hanging onto faith because it is our only hope
We are
Grateful for every day God grants us
We are
Humble survivors, occasions for grace

We are
One in the Father, and
We are
Blessed
