Was it you
prompting me to go for a walk
when I felt blocked
by burdens I could not name?
Was it you
who wrapped me in the gentle warmth
of summer’s early morning sun—
opening my heart to pray blessings over
each beloved one who came to mind?
Was it you
who lifted my eyes
to the canopy of trees—and beyond—
to the mountains rising up so nearby—
awakening awe again?
Was it you
who blew kisses in the sudden swirl
of delicious breeze,
acting like my granddaughter—
showering me with so much affection?
Was it you
who tenderly unblocked the log jam
in the river of gratitude I feel for you—
Healer, Restorer, Giver of every good gift—
freeing me to pour out tears of unending thanks?
Was it you?
So intimate, so playful, so powerfully gentle—
so near, so patient and kind?
Was it you?
Thank you.
Oh Juanita. <3
Thank you for sharing.
Just beautiful.
Sums up the way God is with us.
So we can be with others.

Thanks Juanita, this is beautiful. I love the reminder to look behind life’s blessings and see Who has orchestrated it – just for me. A beautiful prayer that I am going to put up in our clinic waiting room so that it can lift the spirits of those who are burdened. Thankyou.
