A prayer to find home

On this day
and every day,
may each heart,
may every heart,
find some place,
find some people,
to call home.
Amen.

Before her death in January of this year, my friend the Rev. Dr. So Jung Kim, who served the PC(USA) as the associate for theology in the Office of Theology and Worship, said to me in very low moment, “No one will remember me.”

I told her she was wrong.

On Sunday, St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, where my son Eric serves as transitional pastor, will include So Jung among the saints they name. I am grateful.

If your congregation is naming saints, I am sure you have many individuals to remember. I give thanks for each one of them.

And if you are so inclined, please include the Rev. Dr. So Jung Kim and help demonstrate that we do remember her.

For the Rev. Dr. So Jung Kim and all the saints – thanks be to God!
