I have Seen the Lord

There was a poem in this week's bulletin at the church I'm currently attending here in London (Our Lady and Saint Thomas of Canterbury). It touched me, so I'm going to share it with you...

I have seen the Lord
Where the mist rises from the sea
Where the waves creep upon the shore
Where the wrack lifts upon the sand
I have seen the Lord
Where the sun awakens the day,
Where the road winds on its way,
Where the fields are sweet with hay,
I have seen the Lord.
Where the stars shine in the sky,
Where the streets so peaceful lie,
Where the darkness is so nigh,
I have seen the Lord.

It's a message I feel as though I've mentioned many times before - don't forget to notice the small stuff, but I also feel as though it's a message very easily forgotten and one that we can never hear enough. Despite my own desire to be thankful for the tiny miracles, I still get lost in the rush of life, letting whole days go by without ever once stopping to smell the roses, or the coffee, or even the fresh rain for that matter.

if you'd like to reflect upon it further, this is a beautiful music video done to a touching song by George Straight (it's a link, just click and you'll be redirected)
