What will I leave with you?

A tidbit of knowledge
Gleaned from the field of life.
A little bit of wisdom learned by mistake
A creative spark of inspiration for you to take.

To make the world a better place for tomorrow
To lead a generation of learners to God.
And give back these talents that we’ve borrowed
To the One who is the Maker of it all.

Or what if we close our eyes now,
And miss the beauty of everything?
And clench our teeth and never sing,
Nor listen for the voice of Majesty.

Would He still make the sunset as brilliant?
Or make the seashell sound like the ocean’s in it?
Would He stop the birds from singing,
If He knew we weren’t listening?

In these last few days of November I will be focusing on the Self-portrait of the Creator. Here's your part in this. Email as many people as you know and ask them to post anything beautiful to this blog. Click here to send the email.

Every fragment of beauty is a facet of the Image of God.
