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 shone brightly.


But the man did not notice.


And the man shouted “God show me a miracle”


And a life was born.


But the man did not know.


So, the man cried out in despair.


“Touch me God and let me know that you are here!”


Whereupon God reached down and touched the man.


But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.


Moral:


Don’t miss out on a blessing because it doesn’t show up in the package you’d expect.
