I was invited to serve as the chaplain for the Alaska House of Representatives this week (January 30-February 3). I shared this Awe Prayer today with the assembled legislators.
I invite you to take a moment of stillness.
When was the last time, you were awed? When a situation, a thought, an encounter took your breath away. Can you feel it now?
Now look at your hands, especially a close-up of your thumb, your thumb print. No one was created with the same lines as you! Each of us, currently 8 billion of us human, is unique; you are unique!
Whenever you need to be awed, just remember to examine your own thumb.
Amen.
