Lenten Challenge #16: Adopt

“Adoption is a central concept in the Christian faith.” The basic challenge today is to make a friend across an age divide, or to find a new way to show care for others, or to find a long-term way to become a catalyst for something that changes your life and the lives you touch.

I like the “adopt” idea, but think we need to broaden it from the “other people” stance. We need to adopt roads, adopt animals, care about creation as we care about our families. We need to recognize that we are all family. Not just all people, but all creation!

I won this little pine needle goose at the Dancing toward Reconciliation event at BMC tonight. I remembered (then) the Cree name for muskrat.

In this regard Canada’s First Nations have a lot to teach us. I was so happy to take part in the “Dancing Toward Reconciliation” event last night, and look forward to more today.
