a few All Saints haiku

Bell rings again and

again. So many names read.

Sad, yet all's not lost.

Bells peal and hearts reel;

yet hope now, not just later.

All Saints' Day, again.

is the "great ordeal"

brokenness, evil in World?

God's love gets us through.

(inspired by the sermon's text of Revelation 7:9-17)

I wonder what names come to mind as you remember all who have died in this past year.

May you find hope and peace as you mourn, remember, and - hopefully at some point in the future - experience joy in your memories of them.
