WHISPERS
The man whispered, "God, speak to me"
and a meadowlark sang.
But, the man did not hear.
So the man yelled, "God, speak to me"and the thunder rolled across the sky.
But, the man did not listen.
The man looked around and said, "God let me see you." And a star shined brightly.
But the man did not see.
And, the man shouted, "God show me a miracle." And, a life was born.
But, the man did not notice.
So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here." Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.
But, the man brushed the butterfly away ..
and walked on.
I found this to be a great reminder that God
is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted ... even in our electronic age ....
so I would like to add one more:
The man cried, "God, I need your help!" And an e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and encouragement. But, the man deleted it and continued crying ....
The point is: Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.

PASSING SHIPS
Some people come and go in our lives
Like passing ships,
Nameless faces or forgotten dreams,
Who never meant to be part of our lives
But they are.
Kindred spirits who come into our world,
They touch our hearts
And make a difference in our lives.
They give us the gift of friendship
And we are not alone.
Friends who share
Simple, ordinary times in our lives,
Moments that become memories
That stay in our hearts forever...
And we will never, ever be the same.
