God Speaking

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 shined 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.

I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted.
