“Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.” This wisdom from Langston Hughes’ 1922 poem, Mother to Son, accentuates that even as life is strangely grueling and laden with rusty nails, trip hazards, barrenness, and the fresh tar of injustice, each day people relegated to life’s shadowy corridors decide to keep climbing. They hope and grind. They endure. Fueled by dignity, grace, and grit, they strive to make something out of nothing.
Fusco reminds us of the things that are unchanging when life seems to be so uncertain. We are all going through times of discouragement, disruption, and uncertainty right now. We were first hit hard by COVID-19 and in the last few weeks the issue of racial injustice. If we are not careful we can begin to only hear the discouragement and let those ideas rule our lives. So we asked Daniel Fusco to give us, as pastors, some encouraging words.
