God's Presence A mocking bird’s trill is the spoken word of God The gentle summer breeze , His sigh His face is mirrored in a silent pond reflecting a twighlight sky God’s heart beats in the ocean tides and in a sparrow’s breast His blood runs through veins of the earth in trickling brooks, on river’s crest He has left his footsteps in the sand and on the sparkling crust of snow He left them there beside my bed before He had to go His song is in the rustling sycamore leaves In the drizzling drops of rain In fluttering of feathered wing in the swirling dusty plain In all of earth’s nature, in all living things God’s presence can be seen In starlit skies, in ocean’s depths On water’s silver sheen In windswept fields of amber grain In rose of crimson red Beside the lake, beside the stream And here beside my bed Elizabeth Santos April 11, 2002 [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (04-12-2002 07:14 AM).] |

Elizabeth, This is beautiful! It tells of all God is. His power, his majesty, and how speaks to us in all we see and hear. His whisper of comfort is always near, just as you said. Wonderful poem! I know God is smiling down on you. Deb |

Beautiful writing, 'In all of earth’s nature, in all living things God’s presence can be seen' This is beautiful and very true He is with us at every turn. God Bless you Clare Life is about change,sometimes its painful,sometimes its beautiful,sometimes its both. |

Elezabeth, Very-very calming and well written. So true that "God's Presence" is seen and felt all around us in the form of Nature.... And yet, no matter how Big, Bold and Beautiful God certainly is, He still remains gentle, close, and personal enough as to be "present" beside our beds at night. Again, very nicely written and thank you for sharing. God bless. -Bob |

  (smiles) Oh my gosh, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, yes, I believe His whispers can always be heard in the gentle buzzing of a bees wings and His perfume is in every flower and His light can always be found in all the light of the world! (kiss on cheek) May you forever embrace His spirit with a smile, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

"God’s heart beats in the ocean tides and in a sparrow’s breast His blood runs through veins of the earth in trickling brooks, on river’s crest" I should have just copied all of it...this is so beautiful |
