I’m in the middle, humbled and awestruck. I was looking at my prayer journal earlier today and noticed a petition I’d made about a month ago, and am amazed at the way God has been moving through people and events, lining things up in ways that are answering that prayer to overfilling. I can’t wait to see and watch others discover what God is doing. In a way, it’s kind of freaky! A friend and I were musing about how it is that you never know how God’s Spirit might be preparing hearts, people and things, even past events, so that prayers, needs and answers suddenly intersect just when (and usually only when) they are needed. Have you had an experience recently that has reawakened, bolstered or upheld your faith or your trust?

Ghostly Dove in stained glass
on a dark evening,
will you wing these
thoughts and hearts
heaven-ward?
Will the flurry of your wings
yet leave behind blessings
flitting gently
down-ward?
That pile of a man cramming Danish rolls
Or chomping on peanut brittle, or gurgling Chablis,
Pushing and shoving pork roast into his oriface, –
How he could pack and smack
Greasy chicken or dripping corn,
Or slurp whipped cream from a chocolate pie,
Or stretch his cheeks over a buttered bagel,
Or envelop a potato in one swell of his massive neck,
Or suck prune juice from a silver goblet with puckered lips,
Or engulf mandarin sherbet, his body swollen in tight clothes.
