Have you read something lately that truly touched your soul and moved you in a big way? I volunteer with the amazing young women in our church congregation and we read this poem in class last week…It stuck with me and made me think in really big ways about the seemingly small bits of creation that I’ve been blessed to move over.
I’m going to chew on this one a bit more as we begin our super awesome vacay. Camping at the family ranch holds a special place in my heart. It took me a while in this awesome journey called life, to learn to truly enjoy the little things and find joy in all things, but it was a journey worth taking. Life is so much sweeter when you’re seeking the joy the Lord has for you in it. ❤
Creation Continued
Carolyn Lynn Pearson
I will continue
To create the universe today
Right where God left off.
Little pockets of chaos
Somehow survived the ordering
And I feel moved
To move upon them
As in the beginning
The Spirit of God moved
Upon the face of the waters.
I will move upon my backyard today
And the weeds will be subdued
And the flowers can grow
And it will be good.
I will move long distance
Upon a broken heart
And leave a little balm
And it will be good.
I will move upon the hunger of my
children
With salad and spaghetti
Which is Emily’s favorite
And it will be good
And even they will say so.
And I will move too upon their minds,
Leaving a little poem
Or an important thought
And that will be even better
Though they won’t say so.
I will move upon
Birth defects and AIDS
With five and ten dollar checks
To help the scientists
Who are battling the big chaos
And I will move upon world hunger
With a twenty-four dollar check
For little Marilza in Brazil
And it will be good.
I will move upon
The kitchen floor
And the dirty laundry
And a blank piece of paper
And at the end of the day
Have a little creation to show.
And the evening and the morning
Are my eighteen thousand
and ninety-sixth day
And tomorrow will start another one.
And here is chaos and there is chaos
And who knows if creation
Will finally be done?
