Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 God's Blessings A man whispered "God, please speak to me" And a meadowlark sang. But the man did not hear. So the man yelled "God speak to me!" And the thunder rolled across the sky. But the man did not listen. The man looked around and said "God let me see you" And a star shone brightly. But the man did not notice. And the man shouted "God show me a miracle" And a life was born. But the man did not know. So, the man cried out in despair. "Touch me God and let me know that you are here!" Whereupon God reached down and touched the man. But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on. Moral: Please Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged in the way you expect. Om Nama Shivaye Vipin Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 You beutiful post reminds me of a Japanese haiku poem: The man said to the cherry tree, "Sister, speak to me of God." And, the tree blossomed.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 And thank you Vipin for your wonderful poem! I hope I will improve in opening my eyes and my hearth to the blessings God wrapped artfully in the forms and ways of live.
