Good morning, good God!
This morning, Lord,
I offer you one huge, grateful, heartfelt
sigh of relief!
because at this point in my life
all things loom larger
than ever they did before…
because I know
that all good gifts flow freely
from your generous, open hand…
And heartfelt:
for deep in my soul
I know, I pray and I deeply trust
you’re right there by my side…
And, Lord, I’ve something else
to offer to you this morning:
I offer you the hopes and dreams,
the impatience and apprehension,
the prospects and expectancy
– the held breath –
of those who wait this day
for good news and good reason
for one, huge,
grateful, heartfelt
sigh of pure relief…
Be generous, Lord, and tarry not
in granting and planting,
and thrilling us
with the grace and gifts of your largesse:
your holy, healing, saving touch
on all that waits within us
to exhale in thanks
and praise…
