Piloting Faith - A Daily Meditation

A Word for the Day...

Bravery isn't a gift some people are born with and not others. Bravery is learned. It's practiced. You learn to be brave:
...when you hear a racist comment and speak up instead of staying silent.
...when you have the hard conversations we need to have today instead of trivializing them;
...when you march in the PRIDE parade in the face of hecklers;
...when you vote for your highest and kindest values even when it means that you break with your own party;
...when you let your own child try, fail and learn about their own bravery.

I'm learning to be brave every day. Some days are better than others. But I will keep practicing. Maybe in enough of us find our courage and kindness, we can reshape the world free of oppressive hate.

- Rev. Cameron Trimble, CEO of the Center for Progressive Renewal

Prayer for the Day

May the Peace of Christ be with you, wherever God may send you;
May you be guided through the wilderness and protected in the storms;
May you find your people on the journey, the tribe that will deeply know you and accompany you on the way;
May you find in your returning, you are forever changed, by all you learn along the way.

Amen.
