"I'm sorry."
Or, "Please forgive me."
Or, "What can I do
To help today?"
Even when it seems like
It's the hardest thing
We've ever had to say!
But we say it anyway.
And the reason
Why we say it
Is because
Now we know
That there is really
Only one way
To truly walk with God
And grow in grace.
And that's by letting
Someone who's impatient
Cut in line.
Or by sharing just a moment
Of our time.
Or by a thousand other
Little things
The Lord empowers us
To do or say
To help and bless
The lives of others everyday!
But isn't it,
A little hypocritical
To encourage others
To be happy
When we're not?
Or to try
To nurture patience
In the hearts of others
When we ourselves
Are overwrought?
No,
Because the very instant,
That we do,
In faith
However small,
A miracle occurs.
And even though
It seemed like
We had hardly any
Happiness at all,
God gives us yet another,
And then another,
And then another
Mustard seed of happiness
To share with those around us,
Until the magnitude
Of what the Lord has wrought
Confounds us.
