Greenstone Peace

Greenstone Peace
​

​"Bringing peace to a troubled heart requires a movement of people
one to another with the generous sharing of personal gifts, to sing hope, 
and weave anew a life unravelled by pain and loss." 
          JB Lyons




​I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord.  Plans for peace, not disaster;
plans to give you a future full of hope.                        (Jeremiah, 29:11)

Picture
The Good Samaritan
I speak for my troubled heart:
Please understand I do not seek pity
for pity can conceal judgement.
I do not seek quick solutions
for I know my pain runs deep.
I seek your compassion, your presence
and you acceptance of who I am
beyond how I appear.
I seek a door opening to peace.

I speak as one who cares:
I do not stand apart from pain 
for weakness is my burden too.
I come to serve but
find myself being served.
I come to plant but
find the seeds already sown.
So let me come to simply care
that the way of peace might open for each.                          
                                                              James B Lyons
