I Heard Your Voice

God
Has a way
Of
Reminding us
Of
His
Unconditional Love
 
Seeing
A family member
Someone
Whom
I love
Respect
Value 
Trust
 
Am grateful
For
Having
This person
In
My life
 
The morning
Of
11.8.2020
God
My Heavenly Father
Spoke
Through me
He 
Brought to mind
The image
The name
Of
A family member
 
He
Clearly said
Send a message
A text
 
Ask and see
If
She is able
To connect
 
I paused
I waited
For
Just a few minutes
 
Listening
To Christmas music
Checking
Social media
The internet
 
The time
Came
 
Said
Let’s do this
 
Text message 
Sent
 
Immediate response
Was received
 
Said
That would be perfect
Thank you
 
Let’s meet
 
So
We did
Within 
A 2-hour 
Window of time
 
God
He whispered
He called
 
I answered
 
That’s all
 
Responded to
Trusted
 
This all
Was
A part of
His plan
 
Face to face
 
Long time 
Coming
 
Many months
In between
 
In
My heart
My thoughts
 
I’ve kept
Her
Safe and sound
 
Thinking about
Wondering
 
How 
She is doing
How
Is the health 
Of
Her family
 
Arrived
At
The destination
The meeting spot
 
Close
To her home
 
The distance
Not far
For
Her to drive
 
Freshly 
Fallen snow
Freezing rain
Icy
 
Not 
The best
Road conditions
 
Each of us
We made it there
Just fine
 
(Amen)
 
Excited
 
Awaited with
Much anticipation
 
Looking forward 
To
Our meeting
Reconnecting
Becoming unified
 
We found
One another
In
The parking lot
 
Took
Some searching
One another
We did find
 
Was told
By my daughter
Mom
There she is
 
Got out
Of 
The car
Eyes connected
Smiled
Waved
 
At a distance
We still were
 
There we were
Would you believe
 
Wow
 
How beautiful 
The energy
 
Regardless of
The months
That passed by
 
Exchanged goods
We did
 
Accepted
A box filled
With
Hometown reading materials
 
She 
Was given
A box filled
With
Coho Salmon
Caught
By my family and I
Last summer
What a thrill
 
Organic
Fresh fish
Healthy eating
Lifestyle
 
Food
For the soul
Sharing in the gift
 
God
He provides
 
Enough
For both
Her and I
 
Engaged
In conversation
How wonderful
Her presence
Did feel
 
Warmth
Love
Family
 
This meeting
Felt like
A reason
To
Celebrate
 
Life moments
 
Enjoy
Each one
The ones
We 
Are given
 
Take not
For granted
Any second
Any minute
Any hour
Of
Your days
 
A blessing
This was
Meeting up 
On
Such short notice
 
Thank you
God
For reminding
Me
 
Of
The importance of
Reaching out
Connecting with
Those who
You
Have called to mind
 
Thank you
God
For
Helping me
To know
Your voice
 
For teaching me
How
To quiet
Myself
Be still
And know
That
You are God
My Father
The one 
Who 
Speaks through me
 
Messages of hope
Messages of peace
 
Be still
And know that I am God
(Oh how things words ring true!)
 
I am grateful
Beyond measure
 
We had
The opportunity to meet
 
Seconds
Turn into minutes

Minutes
Turn into hours

Hours
Turn into days

Days
Turn into weeks

Weeks
Turn into months

Months
Turn into year
 
Live a life 
Of 
Beautiful moments

Be fulfilled
 
Waste not
Your time

How precious
Our breath
Our heartbeat
Our voice
Our presence
IS
 
This day
I
Was reminded
Of 
How God
Works
In
My life
 
His timing
His ways
 
All He wants
IS
For me
To
Have faith
Trust
Believe
All things
Are possible
Through Him
 
The power
Of touch
 
Healing properties
 
An urge
To hug
Reach out
Embrace
 
To hold
Be held
 
As one
United
 
In Christ
 
With God’s
Unconditional love
 
Human compassion
Outreach
 
We crave
Interaction
Connections
With
Other people
 
Physical presence
Face to face
Eye to eye
 
This day
I felt
God’s presence
 
Through
A family member
 
There
With one another
 
No doubt
In my mind
God
He reached out
Both arms
Outstretched
 
As we hugged
One another
Experiencing
His
Loving touch
 
With this
He confirmed
 
Was my
Affirmation
 
God
He is with us
Every moment
 
At all times
