Of All the Miracles I've Known  ( Bob 's challenge)

Of all the miracles I've known
Or blessings I've received,
None are so rare or can compare
To when I first believed.
My daddy told about Him,
My mama sang His Name;
And though their words I honored
It still was not the same
As when I heard His gentle voice
From deep inside of me
And knew for sure, my God so pure
Had come my Friend to be.
The preacher called upon us
To come, faith to profess,
And with my teardrops falling
I stood, to answer yes.
I now can see His miracles
Around me every day
And hear His gentle answers
Each time I kneel to pray.

By: Joyce  (6/19/07  

My challenge;  Write a poem beginning "Each time i kneel to pray."

Joyce,

Your poem far exceeds what my expectations were and has brought my eyes to tears as I've remembered that very special time in my own life.  Thank you. and, yes, you are absolutely correct with what words you’ve written here, Miracles do happen all around us every single day if we can only open our spiritual eyes to see them. Amen. Thank you again Joyce for accepting the challenge and for your Beautiful Beautiful poem and contribution.

God bless,

-Bob

Thank you for the lovely reminder that when I center my consciousness in Him, his presence centers me in more love than I can imagine.  This really gave me a lump in my throat this morning.  ~ Karen
