Holly’s theme this week for Spiritual Journey Thursday is “Glory to God Alone.”
Berakhah* to the Creator of all blessings,
the one in whom I trust.Blessed be my every day,
even when the car needs repair
or the message is delayed,
Internet is down,
and computer displays an error.May I praise God anyway.
When the four-year-old waves
and the special child grins,
I know in whose presence I am.Blessed be.
Live oaks reveal God’s name,
open resurrection fern.
Rainbows wrap a blind man in color.
A sad man feels my embrace.We are the human ones–
flawed, incomplete, holy.
Blessed be.–Margaret Simon, all rights reserved
*In Judaism, barakhah is a blessing. The function of berakhah is to acknowledge God as the source of all blessing.
Stunning poem. Once again – shifting the focus from our needs to celebrating in Him. Thank you.
You’ve left me teary-eyed and goose-bumped, Margaret. Gorgeous poem and photos!
A perfect beginning to the day. My opening prayer is always, Thank you Lord for this day, please help me to make good use of it.
