Chosen by God

On the first day of school, a teacher asked the children to form a circle and to close their eyes. If she tapped you on the shoulder, you were to move quietly to the center of the circle. The teacher explained that the children she chose would be her helpers for the year. I wondered if she liked me and if I was worthy. Then the touch came, I opened my eyes and moved to the center of the circle. Then I watched the wisest teacher slowly , lovingly touched every student in the class. We were all worthy. She needed us all and loved us all.

I forgot where I read this, but I was impressed with the ability of the teacher to understand that we all need to feel worthy. In the same way God reaches out & touches every shoulder and calls us all into the circle.

Sometimes we wonder if God can use our meager talents. It is knowing that God loves us and thinks we are worthy that we can act in terms of our own nature and set our own goals.

Let Go- Let God

What makes the sky so very blue?
The sun to shine so bright?When clouds of doubt are far and few,
Your soul is winging flight.
What makes a friend so dear, so true?
A neighbor warm your heart?
When in need, concern shows thru
A love you cannot part.
What makes the world an exciting place?
A never ending challenge?
When yearning and learning set the pace
With mind and soul akin.
What makes each day fresh and new?
From morning until night?
When you LET GO and LET GOD thru
Then everything is right.
