If We See Something, Say Something

 

I will thank You 

   in the great congregation.

In the mighty throng,

        I will praise You.

             Psalm 35. 18

God has given each of us

        stories

of His faithfulness and glory,

not to keep to ourselves,

but to share

   and allow them to multiply.

Mary Oliver, a poet, once wrote:

        Pay attention.

        Be astonished.

        Tell about it.

That's the stuff of 

        being a witness.

If we see something,

                say something. 

When was the last time

           we did that,

  thanking God

       or praising Him

in the presence of others?

Or let thanks and praise sing

 in the quietness of our hearts?

O LORD,

Enlarge our hearts and

       vocabulary

that we may praise

 and thank You for 

        Who You are,

not just for what You do.

Open our eyes today

    to Your wonders,

not just noticing

what You have placed

      all around us,

but thanking You for it,

   and unable to wait

 to tell

         someone else.
