For Me, Lord?

Hello, my blog reading friends! I hope that you are well and that you have had your meditation time with Him. I have often talked to you about care packages from the Lord.

Just as a mother knows what to do and what to say

To her child who may be grown and far away

My God knows how to brighten my day

To such a point that it fairly glistens

And how to give me a song that I will sing

To anyone who listens.

My care package from the Lord has arrived

And I could not have been more surprised

Even as I pen this blog post for you

The tears of gratitude swim in my eyes

At the caring blessing that He sent

Y'all, I cannot tell you how humble 

Cherished and grateful I feel 

That He watched everywhere my footsteps went

Talking about Him in the valley and from the top of the hill.

I don't have adequate words to express

To you, the way that I feel that I have been blessed

You see, it means so much when you receive

A blessing whose magnitude shows God's touch.

I told Him that I would tell of His love

In every place and in every way that I know

And that is what I have been trying to do

Yet, when He sent that special blessing

With bells and whistles, just for me

I was reduced to a sniveling and thankful bit of humanity

Who, as I have told you before, will sing

My song of His lovingkindness everywhere I go.

So this last verse is to You, Lord

I can't tell you how much I love You

But I will continue to try to show

The glory that You have allowed in me

For the world to get to know

For it is not by me that these words have been coined

But by You, masterful Father, You, Who are Number One!

Folks, I know that you know me well enough by now to know that I feel things deeply, whether bad or good. And I just want you to know that my heart is full this morning. I used to wonder how it would feel for my work to go viral...well, now I guess I know. My poem on Facebook (Mark Your Storm in Green) has reached over 1,000 likes and I have a second one (Nobody Wants to Hear About God), that is closing fast. And I can tell you again, "Look for your blessing in your storm and prepare your heart and mind for your blessing when your storm is past.

Bless you, all for taking this walk with me as I tell my story about my God's glory.

Doing What I Can, While I Can Because I Care,

It is still hard to believe that He has done this for me!

Yet, I realize that it was not my goodness, for I have none but God's grace that carries me.

My story!
