HOW IS GOD LOVING ME – AND WHERE IS GOD LEADING ME?
A PICTURE AND A POEM: DISTRACTION
As I set out to walk today
I put my earbuds in,
hoping to ponder and to pray;
to meditate within.
My prayer began, “Be still my soul,”
but a train then rumbled by,
and angry dogs began to growl
while giving me the eye.
When the podcast called for silence –
three minutes – that was all
I went around a wooden fence
and this is when I saw
these two loose chickens near the street
both clucking in dismay.
I then admitted my defeat.
I wasn’t meant to pray.
Until this became the moment
when prayer transformed to mirth
with the joy of life, heaven sent,
to bless our days on earth.
God, I thank you for the laughter
when silence can’t be found.
Let my praise ring out hereafter
with every earthly sound.

Oh my goodness, I can relate! Sometimes I just smile at God, I know he finds me amusing.

Don’t know where the prayer-time went,
though I guess I should be askin’,
but alternative was Heaven-sent,
and the chickens were distracting
when they fled the neighbour’s coop
and wandered ‘cross the street,
congregated on our stoop
and thereby chanced to meet
Belle the Wolf upon her rounds,
checking yard’s security.
The resulting awful sounds
were proof of the surety
that faced with pushy avian
Belle is a vegetarian.

Belle looks so imposing, but she’s a softie.
Kinda like me.
