GOD'S GIFT

One day when God felt generous,
He looked down at me and smiled,
"Since I feel so magnanimous,
I'd like to give you something, child."

He asked me what I wanted,
I said, "Oh, really nothing more,
You've done so much already."
He said, "That's what God is for."

"You have been pretty good," He said,
I know there's not much that you seek,
I will pick a little something,
Just to make your life complete."

With great anticipation,
I looked forward to my gift,
I wondered what God had in mind,
That would give me such a lift.

"This gift," God said, "You realize,
Bears some responsibility,
So, if you accept my present,
You must be willing to agree...

"To offer unconditionally,
A section or a part,
Of more than half of you,
The larger portion of your heart."

"Okay, God," I answered,
"Since in You, I always trust,
I'll meet your obligation,
In the manner that I must."

To myself, I thought, wow, what a gift,
For so much of me, God's asked,
Now what could be so valuable,
That my share was more than half?

With both hands I sought my gift,
I still did not have a clue,
Then God put your hand in mine,
And said His gift to me was YOU!

Hi Sharon,

Wow!!!!  That was so inspiring to read.  With your permission I would like to copy this and put it above my computer in my den, so I can glance at it from time to time.

Thanks for sharing this fantastic poem with me, and for always being there for me. (Now the girls included).

Thanks for being a real friend.

Blessings,

Beryl

 

 

Hi Beryl,

It has been awhile since I posted, but my thought and prayers are with you and the girls.

I just loved reading about them playing in the big yard where you and your cousin can see them while cooking.  Wow!  It is a dream come true.

I pray that MIRACLES continue to happen.........and these speciall little darlings will be yours forever.

You are a wonderful inspiration to us all.


Lots of LOVE,  Jill

Hello Jill,

I appreciate all the prayers and the kindness you have showed me and the girls.  I am also happy to see you back here in the forum again.

I am glad you enjoyed hearing about the girls.  Yes, it is a dream come true.  Sometimes, I still feel as if I am just dreaming and want to pinch myself to make sure it is true.

The church is having an outing for all the kids in the Sunday School, and will be taking the girls to Dinosaur World.  I am hopeing to be off that day so I may accompany them, just in case the girls get frightened.

I heard from my son and granddaughter's today, and they all cannot wait for school to get out in May so they may come and visit.  At that time, I will have 6 girls here, imagine that.  All those ribbons, barettes, and hairballs.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for all the kind words and sentiments.  I definitely believe in miracles, the fact that the girls are here, proves that they do happen.

  

Blessings,

Beryl
