Whispers

Author Unknown

The man whispered, "God, 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 shined brightly.
But the man did not see.

And, the man shouted,
"God show me a miracle."
And a life was born.
But, the man did not notice.

So, the man cried out in despair,
Touch me God, and let me know you are here."
Whereupon, God reached
down and touched the man.
But, the man brushed the butterfly away ...
and walked on.

God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted. Do not overlook a blessing because it is not presented in the way that you expect.
