Awed And Blessed

 

He stood there in the quiet pond,
Not seeing his own face,
Seeking instead his morning meal,
Depending on Your grace.
 
I stood in awe of the beauty
I saw reflected there.
He was hunting for His meal,
And I, for peace to spare.
 
The week had been so very long
And lived at such a pace,
That no matter how fast I ran,
I knew I’d lose the race.
 
I’d lost the peace that comes from You,
But held on to the fear
That I would let everyone down
Whom I hold to be dear.
 
I got caught up in getting done
My list of things to do,
And that had lead me to forget
To just listen to You.
 
Yet, when I saw him standing there
Reflected in the light,
I heard Your voice and felt Your peace
And knew I’d be alright.
 
It’s funny how well You know me,
I don’t always hear You,
But I will always stop in awe
At such a stunning view.
 
Thank You for knowing me so well
And loving me enough
To remind me that I am blessed
Even when life seems rough.
 
Psalm 144:15
Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall! Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
