I wrapped you in a hug…and said goodbye. And I know you will always love me.04 Apr 2025 22:03 +0000at://did:plc:iirkvmpfrudb2flvlfvmssuq/app.bsky.feed.post/3llzgbfw7rs26https://bsky.app/profile/revsarabartlett.bsky.social/post/3llzg7ks7tk26“You Gave Me a Bath” When you were dying, I gave you a bath. You laid there in the hospital bed, the machines secured around you. My eyes filled with tears, and my heart broke open as I ate the last cookie you made for me. I combed your hair – and accidentally pulled too hard.04 Apr 2025 22:02 +0000at://did:plc:iirkvmpfrudb2flvlfvmssuq/app.bsky.feed.post/3llzg7ks7tk26https://bsky.app/profile/revsarabartlett.bsky.social/post/3llzg5kfkgk26When you were dying, I gave you a bath.

You plopped me in the tub, my toys floated around me. We smacked the bubbles with our hands, and laughed with our hearts as we shared our in-joke: “peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!” You washed my hair – and pulled it too hard.04 Apr 2025 21:58 +0000at://did:plc:iirkvmpfrudb2flvlfvmssuq/app.bsky.feed.post/3llzfyceh2c26https://bsky.app/profile/revsarabartlett.bsky.social/post/3llzfwndlak26My older sister died suddenly last week. Her last 48 hours they were keeping her alive so my sister could donate her organs. My last morning with her, I was her hands, face, neck and lower legs. (Not her feet! She always hated having her feet touched!)04 Apr 2025 21:57 +0000at://did:plc:iirkvmpfrudb2flvlfvmssuq/app.bsky.feed.post/3llzfwndlak26https://bsky.app/profile/revsarabartlett.bsky.social/post/3lixs7w7dm22a25 Feb 2025 02:16 +0000at://did:plc:iirkvmpfrudb2flvlfvmssuq/app.bsky.feed.post/3lixs7w7dm22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/revsarabartlett.bsky.social/post/3lhvx65xl7k2vStay warm, friends.11 Feb 2025 15:14 +0000at://did:plc:iirkvmpfrudb2flvlfvmssuq/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhvx65xl7k2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/revsarabartlett.bsky.social/post/3lhfi6hzk6s2mMay love burst through when we least expect it, especially for our Palestinian friends, and Jewish siblings.

Jesus declared she gave all she had, but Jesus was throwing shade. We are not meant to think we are the widow in this story. We are the institution: called to care for the proverbial widows not take money from them.26 Nov 2024 03:05 +0000at://did:plc:iirkvmpfrudb2flvlfvmssuq/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbt2jv76ns2n
