A Blessing for Legislative Session

by | Jan 8, 2023 | Featured, Instagram, News

This new year, I made time to visit with my garlic beds. As I walked through the rows, I took notice of the fresh coats of snow painted over beds of straw – a time of rest for garlic. Soon when the weather warms and the sun shines for longer, top growth will start to appear, marking the end of dormancy. As winter passes, they will move on to the next stages of life – exposing what will or will not survive the journey. 

As we face our slow awakening from our winter dormancy, we make way to embrace an abundance of new beginnings. Legislative session is upon us, and with it, a variety of new bills and issues surrounding climate action that will inevitably shape the new year and our impact on the environment. This time brings a buzz of action; celebrating our well-being, considering what changes we will face, and what will or will not survive the session. Throughout the duration of the new year and legislative session, may we bless our resilience in the face of adversity and continue to support those around us.

In the new year and upcoming legislative session,

Bless our voices, and those working to uplift them

As we are presented with hardships and challenges,

Bless our unlimited potential to make room for growth

When faced with slow moving change and progress, 

Bless our patience and those working to make change

When rewarded with victories and positive movement,

Bless our strengths and perseverance

If greeted with overwhelming feelings or seclusion, 

Bless the people and community in our lives that lead us in our faith

Through the shifts and movements of the season,

Bless Earth’s creations as our seeds and hearts continue to bloom
