INTERVIEW WITH A GRAIN OF SAND

Sand of wisdom, I seek for your counsel
since you're prudent in warning against building on sinking sand...

Oh, your choice to interview me is commendable...
well, take these ABCs sands for character-building:

Always take a firm stand whether you're on rocky or sandy ground
Blossom beyond sandy soil if that's the only one available
Carve creations circumspectly using sand in your design...
Dare to do the impossible through God Who made sand everywhere
Explore* more, to learn about the greatness of the sand...

Wow! I am now getting your sandy point...
Are there some more?

Free yourself from getting sandwiched through faith's fortitude flight
Gear toward gracious glow while basking along sandy shore
Heartily share hope as you collect sand for your hour-glass gifts
Instruct about healthy benefits of walking along the sand on barefoot
Jubilantly pursue your dream of painting sunset brightening white sand...

Yes, yes... I will surely publish your advice
May I have your parting words, please?
 
Keep on appreciating life as gift, bearing in mind sand's vitality
Live along leading of the Lord, leaping high, leaving footprints in the sand!

Thanks so much!

*Daniel 11:32 … The people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
