When 02/28/1996

When the world we know
   seems full of weeds
      plant some flower seeds.

When dirt and manure
   become more than you can manage
      plant some cabbage.

When time seems vast
   and the days to long
      sing to the soul a new song.

When the fear of what lies ahead
   fills your heart with dread
      think of the glory of today instead.

When you discover what you have
   was never what you were after
      hear the angels joyous laughter.

When you look for God in earthly places
   you will see Him
      on many searching faces.

Deuteronomy 4:29  Yet when you seek
the Lord, your God, from there, you
shall indeed find Him if you search after
Him with all Your heart and soul.
