Happy Thursday of our 2nd week in Advent!  May you be graced with a  
sense of God's many blessings as you give tremendously during this  
season.  Here is another poem that has recently touched me from  
Behold in the curriculum Seasons of the Spirit.  God bless you all!!   
Sincerely,  Dawn Teuthorn


WE HUNGER

We hunger to be known and understood.
We hunger to be loved.
We hunger to be at peace inside our own skins.
We hunger not just to be fed these things but,
Often without realizing it, we hunger to feed
Others these things because they too are starving for them.

We hunger not just to be loved but to love,
Not just to be forgiven but to forgive,
Not just to be known and understood
for all the good times and bad times
that for better for worse have made us who we are,
but to know and understand each other to the same point of seeing that,
in the last analysis, we all have the same good times, the same bad  
times,
and that for that very reason there is no such thing in all the world
as anyone who is really a stranger.

                                     Frederick Buechner from Secrets  
in the Dark: A Life of Sermons




We use the curriculum Seasons of the Spirit, and it includes a  
resource called "Behold: Arts for the church year".
This came from the Advent 2008-Epiphany 2009 Year B book, p. 6.
It is published by Logos Productions, Inc. 6160 Carmen Ave East,  
Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota 55076-4422.  1.800.328.0200
