Serendipity
Serendipity
God’s hand, like a muse of the serendipity,
Makes His presence self-evident
In marvels colliding
When happy chances of happenstance
Tango with moments of pure whimsy –
Living epiphanies’ lifeblood
In generosity flowing, spilling over,
With revelation’s laughter of surprise
To stumble upon clear eyed condensed coincidence –
The synchronicity of planets aligned –
Lost in the waxing-waning cycles of moonrises
A plea born upon the lips of a servant’s heart,
For parallel footsteps in pilgrimages and side by side
Linked by servanthood planned for such a time as this.
Hearts of affirming collaboration bloom
Like flowers growing through concrete cracks
When rainstorms hurricane this battered plan
A living answer for pacing eyes
Sometimes blinded, wearing discouragement,
As hearts appear in surprise parties
With glimpses of encouragement –
Moments when hilarity finds a perfect bubble heart
On a flapjack’s edge
Or a coffee saucer wearing a topaz colored gem
Tar droppings screaming “Surprise!”
Or thunderheads giggling in celebration of floating miracles
Eternity’s prankster – vitality’s elan
Living in the playful realms of a-ha’s inspiration.

When I changed the name of my ministry to A Servant’s Heart I asked God “Are you with me?” From that time on I have been seeing hearts – everywhere – even as recently as today!
