Healing In Its Wings

The sun of righteousness

Shall rise

With healing in its wings.

You shall go leaping

Like calves from the stall. (Mal. 4:2)

Spring puts rebirth on display.

Daffodils and dogwoods,

Fields and forests,

All cry out: NEW!

And newborn calves

Spring forth from their stalls–
Waking into the light.

Pandemic winter has run long

And we’ve been cooped up

In all manner of stalls.

I bless you spirit to leap like a

Newborn calf

With the assurance of new life

In Christ.

It might take a minute to find your legs.

No worries—

We all wobble a bit before we dance.
