Today’s little blessings…

Today at our local convenience store, the lady behind the counter, who has blessed us many times, noticed the color of my t-shirt, and that my heart was open and grieving something. She said, you have a tender strong heart, and will be given whatever you need. She noticed the color of my shirt, even though the graphic on the front was very busy. She wasn’t distracted by it, but discerned the content of where I was at today. Today was a bit windy as well, which helped. Made me want to write a thanks poem:

Thanks

Today, that you saw my t-shirt was red (my heart was read)

and didn’t merely read the font, meant a lot.

I was grieving that day, a close friend’s death…

We are all tossed into and around in this wind

and we return again on the right day—That Day!

Still, while here, we need someone to see us

as we are, little kids crying, wearing our colors, and waiting to come home.
