Shiny Strong Joy

© March 11, 2008 by Norman Stolpe

“Wine to gladden the human heart, oil to make the face shine, and bread to strengthen the human heart.”
Psalm 104:15 NRSV


At Christ’s Table
God’s gift of bread –
grain crushed and baked –
for daily strength.

Squeezed, fermented,
wine brims with life
and joyful scent
of endless hope.

Anointing oil:
baptismal welcome
and healing touch –
we shine and glow!
