Long arms
reaching outward, upward,
hands reaching
out to God...,
Unencumbered by
the threat of snow, of winter,
Reaching upward,
striving, yearning,
for the sun, for
meaning, for the closeness of God.

Long
arms reaching outward, upward
https://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2022/06/long-arms-reaching-outward-upward.html
I took
a picture this morning of the southern pine trees
on Whisper
Creek Boulevard
here in
our complex;
I was
brought back to a conversation in 2004ish with
Rev. Orin
Watson at Wesley United Methodist Church,
In which
I talked about my writing poetry,
after
one of the bible studies he had lead.
He
commented that, “anyone can write a poem about a tree”;
but
that as a Christian poet, I should seek to convey something
about God
in the poem…,
So here
you go Rev. Watson…

has placed more within you and me than we realize.
2) We
settle for the life we are living now versus the life God has planned for us.
