Note from Liz Wessel: This reflection is dedicated to my colleagues who I have had the privilege to serve alongside; with gratitude for the love you have woven into the hearts and souls of the many lives you have touched. Thank you for helping to build a strong foundation and a lasting legacy at our ministry.

This is where your life has arrived,

After all the years of effort and toil;

Look back with graciousness and thanks

On all your great and quiet achievements.

You stand on the shore of new invitation

To open your life to what is left undone;

Let your heart enjoy a different rhythm

When drawn to the wonder of other horizons.

Have the courage for a new approach to time;

Allow it to slow until you find freedom

To draw alongside the mystery you hold

And befriend your own beauty of soul.

Now is the time to enjoy your heart’s desire,

To live the dreams you’ve waited for,

To awaken the depths beyond your work

And enter into your infinite source.

Father, today I leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in which, I am included. We are one because each part contains Your memory, and truth must shine in all of us as One.

With Abundant Love & Gratitude
