As you light the votives,
is your faith a fraud?
Do you doubt the motives
of Almighty God?
Do you feel that miracles divine
have forever passed,
and that the Mets of '69
surely was the last?
Or will you wait, though sad and broken,
yet knowing you were not fed lies,
with your heart wounded but open
to the glory of the skies,
that the God of Three Cross Hill
may show you some wonders still?

Sylvia counts ice cream as miraculous.
The older I get the less I fully understand. But I'll never doubt God's motives. His ways are truly beyond what I can grasp. That's why He's God and I'm not. All will be well.
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful there are always new wonders ahead, sometimes when we're watching for them, and even when we're not.
ReplyDeleteGod doesn’t always work in the way I want or would have imagined, but he is always working for us and in us.
ReplyDeleteThis is key to staying 'in tune' with His love, Andrew, "with your heart wounded but open," means we receive His grace to receive both the blessings and the sufferings in our lives.
