Look over your shoulder
And you will see
Threads intricately woven
Into a tapestry
Of color, light, and shadow
A trail behind you
That brought you
To this day
Look ahead
With faith and hope
That this woven fabric
Will continue throughout
The rest of your life
See the faint glimmer
Of golden threads
Dream and plan
Then bravely make
That next step
Along the path
You are already on
I Practiced What I Preached on Sunday. I asked about my new name since battling my third cold of the season I was feeling rather Sick and Tired. The answer is embedded in the following poem as well as some excerpts from the sermon.
“Who are we?”
Asked the Poet King
the Battle Weary Psalmist.
There are days I feel
just like a Breath
or a Passing Shadow
as this Shepherd of Sheep
and a Kingdom felt.
What is my name?
Surely not
Sick and Tired.
If I listen open-hearted
the message will come
With an eye of faith
I can almost see it written
on the wing of the messenger:
Overcoming One
Who Loves My People.
That’s a name I
can grow into.
My identity is not
in how I feel or
how another calls me
or sees me.
No, it is in
How my Maker made me
to be like him
Image Bearer
full of Glory
full Grace.
