I find letters from God dropped in the street,
and everyone is signed by God's name,
and I leave them where they are,
for I know that others will punctually come
forever and ever.
Walt Whitman
Discovering Whitman's beautiful poem, I was reminded of our Alpha Writer's assigment:
Use the first line from an already-published poem and change the rest to be yours. So, here goes....
I find letters from
God dropped at my feet,
The first dandelions of spring
A maple leaf perfectly formed
A gathering of snow flakes
Each signed with yours truly, respectfully yours, or love
you forever
And the notation RSVP.
How often do we not RSVP when admiring God's incredible creation?
Whitman tells us that "others" will punctually come--forever and ever--so God gives us lots of opportunities to reply/respond.
There are things about him that people can not see. . .
But since the beginning of the world
those things have been made easy to understand
by what God has made.
Romans 1:20
The heavens declare the glory of God...
Psalm 19:1
Nature is God's first missionary.
Where there is no Bible, there are sparkling stars.
Where there are no preachers, there are springtimes.
Max Lucado
It is spring.
The sky rumbles; the rain comes.
We awake to striking blossoms, the smell of new life, and become energized ourselves.
What are the possibilities?
New life and new beginnings!
God calls us
continually
to respond to his love
because He first loved us.
Taken care of that RSVP to God yet?
It's never too late....
but why wait?
