Kenosis

those of us with homes and cars and dining sets.
with refrigerators, 401(k)'s and televisions.
with furniture and electricity and cable modems.
those of us who can go two months without wearing every outfit in our closets.

those of us who have letters behind our names
and preach in churches rather than from the church ...

... we have less to give God than the destitute.

may You take our abundant nothing and make something.
