Friday Tale - Love's Response


He stood there in his soggy, smelly diaper -

 a helpless creature

 reaching up to his father.

 

I marveled that anyone could love this

 runny-nosed, candy-smeared,

 tear-streaked being

 enough to lift him up,

 kiss him, and care for his needs.

 

I heard Your whisper, Lord.

 And I remembered

 how I came to You --

 heartbroken and dirty

 from playing in the world.

 

Thank You, Father,

 for picking me up

 and loving me

 through my unloveliness..

~ Kitty Chappell


Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning;

For I trust in You;

Teach me the way in which I should walk;

For to You I lift up my soul.

~ Psalm 143:8

Hans said.          "If that is all I had to eat, I wouldn't feel like giving thanks." Carl protested.          "God has given me everything I need, and I am thankful for it." Hans replied.          The old farmer added, "It is strange you should come by today because I had a dream last night. In my dream a voice told me, 'The richest man in the valley will die tonight.' I don't know what it means, but I thought I ought to tell you."   ...
