Well our man Will will come and go today.
This week has been a learning week for him.
He says he's learned to trust God in some way
that could mean he is sent by your own whim,
and then like genie of Aladdin's lamp
who said with strength and some capacity
(when lamp was rubbed), "Your wish is my command."
May that be true for Will. That we might see
your will enfleshed, in this world, here on Earth.
The angel said to Mary that "With God,
there's nothing that's impossible". That's worth
our walking here "with God", as Enoch trod
three hundred years or so, answered that call
instead of sewing leaves & hiding in
the shadows, he went out, and walking tall
gave offering like Abel did, with grin;
and walked on in and out, shared life as friend
of God, with him in His world, what a blast!
May all of us who'll walk right to the end
of this life with him be surprised at last.
And Chris, and Dave & me (& one who left
to not be so constrained with group-ish stuff),
may all of us grow "treasured", not bereft
of things that really matter, when life's tough.
And you yourself creative love and joy,
& peace & patience, kindness, goodness too,
& self-control (as we see in your boy),
with faithfulness. We want to grow like you!
