DAY 33 OF 47

Alive: Make do and mend

Make do and mend

Though our dreams lie in ruin around us,

and fear is the favored trend,

though events continue to confound us

we will make do, and mend.

Though our hearts are weary and bruised,

and disappointment seems our only friend,

though justice is discarded and power abused

we will make do, and mend.

Because the Earth bears the wounds of greed – 

the desire to acquire and build and spend,

because creation cries out in need

we will make do, and mend.

Even if our hopes are entombed by the night

we will stand firm until the end,

and even as we wait for the coming of the light

we will make do, and mend.

About this Plan

Alive: Lent Devotionals

These Lent devotionals will take you on a journey to discover the abundant life that Jesus offers. The world is full of noise and distraction – bright lights that lead us away from the depth of life, keeping us in the shallows. The kingdom of heaven – the kingdom of life and love and joy – is closer than we think. Let us grasp it with both hands.
