Beautiful way to take an ordinary and brush it with a touch of divine truths

I've read this poem quite a few times now, and I'm enjoying it more and more as I read it. (Your book at the top of my to-be-read list, now.) It is a beautifully layered mix of the "already" and "not yet."

The child’s laughter, her inability to “stand straight from laughter”, suggests a kind of holy surrender—the loss of control not as weakness, but as trust, as delight in the goodness of the moment God has given. That is a direction I find myself always turning back to, thanks to the nudging of God's spirit.

Beautiful work here. Thank you so much for sharing.

Saying that “I liked this” is so inadequate. How about “I liked this well enough to buy your book”?
