Tornado warning
Three AM
Not a great
Wake up call
Put on a
Gators sweater
To the closet
I went
To huddle
As I was hugged
Rode it out
Took two hours
To fall back asleep
But in that time
God revealed
Some truths
I’d be struggling
With for awhile
And in that moment
I’ve never been
More grateful
For early days
When what
Is not wanted
Is what is needed
More than
The air
That is exhaled
Everything happens for a reason, even if the reason was enforced awakeness.
ReplyDeleteTruth in the face of the unknown often brings thanksgiving to the heart for the forgotten times in our lives. Gifts are often fleeting but burned deeply in our memories, brought to light to remind us how fortunate we are in the moment of need.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found some peace from God while having to take refuge from the tornado warning. And so glad you are Ok, dear friend. Sometimes the whispers come when we don't expect it, and we are pleasantly surprised.
