Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
Treasured are they who have nothing to offer.
They live in the Realm of God.
Happy are those who know deep sorrow,
for they know deep joy.
Lucky are those who are powerless,
for the world will be given to them.
Beloved are they who hunger and thirst
to be close to God,
for God alone shall fill their lives.
Blessed are they who are gentle,
for they will always have a soft place to land.
Gifted are they who are transparent to love,
for they will see God in every moment.
Treasured are they who bring reconciliation.
They are children of God.
Warmly embraced are those who suffer in order to love.
They live in the heart of God.
Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve

About Me
- Pastor Steve
- Unfolding Light is a daily reflection rooted in a contemplative, Creation-centered spirituality, often inspired by my daily walk in the woods. In poems, parables, psalms, thoughts and the odd weather report I hope to invite readers into a spirit of presence, compassion, justice and delight. Though these writings are rooted in the Christian story you’ll hear in them melodies of many traditions. Unfolding Light is for anyone who wants to be a part of God’s healing of the world. I'm a United Methodist Pastor in Acton, Massachusetts where I live with my wife Beth. I've served for 31 years, mostly in Montana and New Hampshire, and also lived in California, Washington, South Dakota and Minnesota. We have three sons in their 20's... I don't know that they'd want to hear it this way, but I think they're lovely. I am nowhere near as mature as I sound in my writing, but I'm trying to learn from myself.
