I Thought... Virginia Salter I thought to write a poem, that would fill your holiday with joy beyond that heretofore, one that would exude the power from on high one so profound a life-choice would be abruptly and emphatically made for it had so moved you that you could make no other decision but for Him. How ludicrous a thought how inane a mind, for scholars, lovers of God, His awesome omnipresence, His profound omnipotence, His omniscience, have written ages of manuscripts, recording His promises, divulging His power, displaying our history in and out of His will. Why should I even consider that any element of what I might place on the page by my hand could ever in any way do more? Could it be, would it be possible that He may inspire and I may listen well enough to compose, by His Spirit, just the words to make the difference, to reveal Him in just the right way for you to see, this time more clearly, than any other moment in time and to know Him, then, more fully this day, this Christmas, this holy season now at hand? © December 1, 2000 I doubt that I can listen well enough, but He does say that in Him, all things are possible. I guess I should be open to what He might choose to do. |

Virginia, it DOES matter what is said...and you have said it your way...which I applaud... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
