God's Gift
One day when God felt generous,
He looked down at me and smiled,
“Since I feel so magnanimous,
I'd like to give you something, child.”
He asked me what I wanted,
I said, “Oh, really nothing more,
You've done so much already.”
He said, “That's what God is for.”
“You have been pretty good,” He said,
I know there's not much that you seek,
I will pick a little something,
Just to make your life complete.”
With great anticipation,
I looked forward to my gift,
I wondered what God had in mind,
That would give me such a lift.
“This gift,” God said, “You realize,
Bears some responsibility,
So, if you accept my present,
You must be willing to agree...
“To offer unconditionally,
A section or a part,
Of more than half of you,
The larger portion of your heart.”
“Okay, God,” I answered,
“Since in You, I always trust,
I'll meet your obligation,
In the manner that I must.”
To myself, I thought, wow, what a gift,
For so much of me, God's asked,
Now what could be so valuable,
That my share was more than half?
With both hands I sought my gift,
I still did not have a clue,
Then God put your hand in mine,
And said His gift to me was YOU!
Oh what a lovely poem, yorkie! Is wonderful with your graphic!! Hope you have had another beautiful day!
That is such a precious poem and photo.....
I love this, yorkie.
Going back to yesterday’s posts, love the “God’s Gift” poem and the illustration of the hands reaching for each other.
Thanks, Yorkie,
How’d your dental visit turn out?
Hope you and housemate are doing well.
The best of CHRISTmas to you both.
Hey—y’all might be interested if you have a VitaMix.
Sam’s have some almonds dry coated in chocolate dust sort of coating.
VitaMix will make almond butter out of them if you do it right and carefully without overloading things in one swoop. I added some chocolate chips, also from Sam’s. Great on Hagen Daz vanilla. LOL.
