Appreciate What He Has Done

The universal mystery of God
Normalcy to those who embrace the odd.
Seen in the dragonfly’s gossamer wings.
Apparent in the sweet call of bird sings.
Brazenly shown in orange and pink twilight.
His own handiwork’s triumphant highlight.
Easily seen in a beggar’s sad face.
Eager eyes waiting for some sort of grace.
We are not yet at heaven’s finest door,
We have some people to kindly restore.
When we see God’s beautiful setting sun,
We should appreciate what He has done.
Mystery apparent no longer true.
For I see God in me, and God in you.

This is brilliant... another for the FAV list! I love every line, but especially: "Normalcy to those who embrace the odd" and "We have some people to kindly restore"... so true! This reminds me of a book called 'Accidental Saints: Finding God in All The Wrong People'!
