I felt the Presence of God today

I felt the presence of God today,
and I was humbled.
To see love and sorrow
in faces teaming around me
a chance visit to a friend whose family sees no barriers
to caring for one who is dying.
Amidst the bustle, hustle and confusion
of a crowded place…
I felt the presence of God today
and I was humbled.
To see acts of giving and loving
For one so unfortunate to lay there dying,
someone so fortunate to be rich in friends and caring.
A hospital bed crowded amidst furniture, set near a window
with old and young gathered around
a last chance to visit and care.
I felt the presence of God today
and I was humbled.
From ones so needy in the eyes of the world
yet so giving of place, space and selves
it boggles my mind at times.
World views opposite Christ views,
real examples of Christ’s love in action.
Celebrating a birthday early
not knowing what or if there will be a tomorrow. Yet-
I felt the presence of God today
and I was humbled.
