“God’s Way”

God’s way

Is not our way

We need to be reminded

Of this

Over and over again

In the first chapter

Of St. Luke’s Gospel

We see God in action

Two women were involved

One—Elizabeth

Who was to give birth

To John the Baptist

And one—Mary

Was to give birth

To our Lord

And Savior Jesus Christ

And in the book of Kings

We hear the story

Of Elijah

Elijah is tired of living

And scared of dying

And looking for God

Elijah looks for God

In the wind

But he is not there

Elijah looks for God

In an earthquake

But he is not there

Elijah looks for God

In a fire

But alas and again—he is not there

He finds God

In a gentle breeze

Maybe we too

Are looking for

A miraculous sign

And maybe –just maybe

We have already

Seen the sign

The love of our family and friends

The love of our Church

The fact

That we are all

Just there for one another

Elijah found God

In the gentle breeze

I found God

In all of you

That is God’s way
