Do You Know The Saying

I wrote this a last school year and just came across it again today. God has blessed me with His unconditional love. All I have to do is let Him in, take time to see it His wonders, and giggle a little.

You know the saying…

You never know what you have till it’s gone.

Well, I don’t believe it.

I know now what I had. What I have.

I can see it,

every moment of every day.

I can feel it,

when a cool gust of fresh air blows through my hair

sending something warm,

so warm it fills me with joyful tingles.

I can see it,

when a stranger passes me on the sidewalk,

and gives a genuine, “How are you?”

I hear it,

when joyful praise flows with

fierce rawness.

freeness.

from the mouth of a hurting individual

with

no

fear

of

judgment.

I’m reminded when giggles take over,

observing an old man take his wife’s hand

and getting the same reaction as 40 years before.

true love.

I know what I have. God.

was.

is.

and always will be what I have.

Even when I knew not.

He is never changing.

All these things are reminders,

mere symbols of God’s presence.
