Gems from my Inbox Part 1 - "God, speak to me"

Unless it's obviously junk, I don't automatically trash incoming mail. Lately, I've been doing some Inbox housecleaning and I am amazed at how much good stuff friends have sent me over the years. Here's one:

The man whispered, "God, speak to me."
And a meadowlark sang.
But the man did not hear.

So the man yelled "God, speak to me"
And the thunder & lightning rolled across the sky.
But the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you."
And a star shone brightly.
But the man did not see.

And, the man shouted, "God, show me a miracle."
And a life was born.
But the man did not notice.

So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me, God
And let me know you are here."
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.


But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

How much of God have you missed? He's speaking to you now.
Listen.
