THE GIFT OF HIS PRESENCE

Folder: 
JOURNAL#15

for fires even once banked

Heaven's desires need be thanked

as God grants even the most foolish of all men

small aspects of his grace

his will, though too often questioned

knows no spiritual waste

there are unknown reasons for all things in each

life's scheme

the Lord is the eternal conductor who knows every

last individual nuance attributed to the human

theme

for his unequivocal efforts he must be praised

for he is the back bone for the children

who's parents through his teachings he too helped

raise

hence the so very accurate term

'Our Heavenly Father' for our welfare he could

do us no harm

there are simply so many lessons that we each

need so desperately to learn

but only through experience can we

so we were sent here for their necessary absorption

not for some sort of punishment or intense

negative scrutiny

so do not be alarmed

the Lord doesn't intend to turn on us then send

us straight to hell

he simply wants us to be far wiser souls and

through the pores of our physical humanity's

failings we learn which fills us with love and

knowledge by numerous bucket fulls into our

needful spiritual well.......................

(Sept. 8, 1996)
