Answering God

When he called, the boy answered
coming, Master, I am here
he answered God in the same way
I am listening Lord, what do you want of me
Ready, right then, to follow the Master’s call
whatever that may be
So must we, be ready, prepared, listening
to hear the call for us, our particular path
our special call, to bring God’s love, his kingdom
to this troubled world; we must answer
But more still, we must listen

She is my treasure

Funny, reading the title I just wrote,
my wife, my best friend,
knowing that she has read the lines
of the devotionals too, the scripture
the precious wisdom of the Lord
shared with those first disciples
where your treasure is, there is your heart
She is my treasure; but
not in any sense of ownership,
more amazing than that,
for she is a gift, sent by God
Someone to change my life
to help me grow in faith
to find family and love
I have never known
My days, all of my days, with her
miracles of grace, agape love,
unexplainable in mere words
She is my treasure,
because I feel God with me, through her
because I am loved
beyond my wildest dreams
Each day is easier
with her in my life
