her hands

Her hands poured the flour and milk

Mixed the ingredients slowly

An offering of love to the community 

Loaves rising and cookies bubbling

Filled with the intention and purpose

Her legacy, baked into our DNA 

Her hands pick up the camera nearby

Capturing the magic of the moment

An offering of love to future generations 

Photographs that see into souls

Images that remind us of our humanity 

Her artistry, carries hope through its stories 

Her hands place the vase on the altar

Meticulously chosen blooms 

An offering of love for the congregation 

She beautifies the sanctuary  Flowers and fragrance invite wonder

Her nurturing, more majestic than stained glass

Her hands choose the perfect gifts 

Carefully selected for the recipient

An offering of acknowledgement to her loved ones

Having listened deeply to their stories Symbols of consideration and affection

Her generosity, a sacred caring for the other
