Subject: A Reflection for Our Journey Together (02/14/'24)

Subject: A Reflection for Our Journey Together Dear Colleagues, I hope this message finds you well. Today, I felt inspired to share something a bit different—a reflection in the form of a poem that I believe speaks to the essence of our shared journey, both professionally and personally. It's titled "Sacred Whispers: A Journey Within Through Christ." In the quiet beyond mere words, A sacred story unfolds, heard In actions, teachings, and in His sacrificial breath, A life lived fully, even unto death. He offered Himself, a gift so divine, Inviting us to let His light within us shine. With simplicity and fervor, let's embrace, The living Christ in us, our foundation, our base. What truly matters in our daily strive? Is it wealth, achievements, or simply to thrive? God's promise is clear, "You are my chosen," Valued and loved, by His grace, we're emboldened. He sees our worth, far beyond earthly measure, In His eyes, each of us is a treasure. Let's open our hearts, to see and to hear, The message of love, so crystal clear. What gain is the world, if in it we lose, The essence of life, the path we choose? This reflection invites us, to ponder, to wonder, About our life's direction, amidst the thunder. Let this poem be a beacon, a light, Guiding us through, making our spirits bright. Together, in Christ, a journey we share, Supporting each other, showing we care. May this poem serve as a reminder of the deeper connection we share and the collective journey we are on. Let's carry these "Sacred Whispers" in our hearts as we navigate the challenges and triumphs of our work, remembering the importance of unity, purpose, and the profound impact of living through Christ in all we do.
