What do we see on a summer night..
ten flashing fireflies burning bright..
catch the one twinkling there..
like a star.
('Ten Flashing Fireflies'- Philemon Sturges)
I had finished tweaking my keyboard rig
prepping for a major gig at church...
keys to play..songs to sing
(that praise leader is such a slave driver....oh yeah, he smiles alot when he hands you the song list :>)
ok.. out the door
and onto the ride for a quick scoot home to get ready for Good Friday service
but whoa ah ...slow down now.. .
there is a bus stopped in the middle of the road.
this wasn't your typical school or commuter bus...but a 'special' bus.
One that was equipped to accomodate 'special' travellers.
I idled there...
and though I didn't intend to...
I stopped ,waited...and forgot about my destination for a moment.
-in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes-
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes-
(1986 Peter Gabriel - from the ablum -'So')
- she looked about 10...but may have been older...
I couldn't really tell for certain...
her hands were clasped as though in prayer...supporting her bowed.. shaking head.
her body quaking beneath the shawl that wrapped her..
and as the bus operator lowered her wheelchair to the sidewalk..
I thought..'yes..and this one too.'
...how what she gets from Life ..
is all dependant on what someone
will bring to her..
or
will bring her to.
18Some men came carrying a paralytic on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
maybe..
and as I watched her attendant care for her...it became more..
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Today...
Take a moment..and light a candle.
now blow gently at the flame ..and you will see
'circumstances'....
'struggle' ..
'need'. ...
now put your hand in front of your mouth
and blow at the flame again... .
see
-Hope-
Through you.
schedule interrupted .
and my 'important' plans were postponed..
long enough to to see that One size fits all.
and all sizes
fit One.
-looking down I moved the dirt and gravel with my boot,
to see my humble beginnings
and knowing without God,
that... is all I would be.
Today...
stop and remember..
that in Him..
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
