HOW IS GOD LOVING ME – AND WHERE IS GOD LEADING ME?
Five Minute Friday: YOUR
The word YOUR
is the path on which
we move from MY
to become OUR.
My life
my vocation
my gifts
my finances
my blessings
my time
my world
have all been graciously given from you, God.
Help me to find the true ‘possessive perspective’…
Your life
your vocation
your gifts
your finances
your blessings
your time
your world
So that all I have been graciously given may be shared as
Our life
our vocation
our gifts
our finances
our blessings
our time
our world
Together

This reminds me of an old Irish story which I have (ahem!) placed in sonnet form.
A warrior king of ancient Eire,
near death, took hold of Irish sod,
and figured when he got there,
to Heaven, he’d ask God
to let him in with this beloved
souvenier of his lost land,
but St. Peter, looking rugged,
said he’d have to open hand
and leave the sod outside the gate
before the king could be
admitted to the Lord’s estate.
He weeping did, and then could see
as gate swung wide, familiar scene
of his own Eire, so ever-green!
