Sunday Reflection

It's Sunday.  I choose to take time out today to go and worship God. I hope you do also.  Reflection on those things that are only known by faith are sometimes lost in the constant flow of other information.  When we are forced to stop for a while and unplug from the repetitive drone, we can often enjoy life at a level we may not have felt since we were children. I was fortunate to be in an area with few clouds as the full moon came up last night.  It was spectacular.  I wrote this poem years ago to try and put into words one of those "aha" moments.

          GOD’S PEBBLE

There was a man upon life’s road 

who rarely wavered from his task,

walked with purposed step and true,

until a pebble found his shoe.

And once inside, the pebble wore

upon his foot till stop, he must.

While kneeling down to get the stone

he saw a world he’d never known.

On his left he saw the sea,

breathed salt air, felt the breeze,

heard the crash of waves on sand,

felt a presence, not of man.

On his right huge mountains rose

rugged peaks, towering trees.

A pristine lake, reflections bore

that magnified God’s bounteous store.

He took the pebble from his shoe,

once more started on his way.

But, stopped and looked from time to time

as God’s small pebble came to mind.
