tiny drops of dew
by Elouise
We exist only because
God believes in us
And risks everything on our account
And who are “we”?
We are not the United States of America.
We are not any country on the face of this earth.
This is not our earth; not even our good earth.
It too belongs to God who believes in us
Not as the exceptional stars of God’s show
But as the everyday gardeners whose sole duty
Is to plow the ground and harvest the fruit
Of God’s great Harvest most of which
We will never see in our lifetimes.
We are not the stars or the sun or even the moon.
We are reflections of God’s great glory shining
Beyond light into our darkness filling our cups
To overflowing with tiny drops of dew each morning
Enough for this day when given away before it
Evaporates and returns to God who sent it.
I exist only because
God believes in me
And risks everything on my account

I didn’t realize your eyesight was so dim! Isn’t that a ginormous dew drop just off center of the main stem-artery of the leaf? 🍃🍁🌱🍀

I thought that was the result of lots of little drops of dew rolling down to the centre and forming one big blob! :wisted:
The only dim about me is whats inside the noggin! 😀 🐻

I don’t know why you bother with him. He’s probably quite a decent old codger but he can be a bit daft. Tell him that of course there are big drops of dew.
