Letters From God

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 an Alpha Writer's assignment: 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.
       Kathleen Stauffer

      

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 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

It is November. A frosting on the earth is a promise of heavenly flakes to come. We prepare to be thankful for the harvest; we prepare to soon celebrate a birth that changed the world.

With 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?
