Long arms reaching outward, upward


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…

live with passion and purpose

Believe:

1)      God 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.
