                               The Best Kind of Distancing

Fly with your Creator

To photos of His earth from outer space.

See our world He made,

Poised in the sky like a blue-green marble

With white frothy swirls.

Take a deep perspective-breath.

Think of history, peoples, plans,

Wars, won and lost; leaders risen and fallen,

Even pandemics, raged and waned.

“Time marches,” they say.

“Time is Mine,” God says.

“I use imperfect circumstances, imperfect people,

To fully complete My perfect plans.”

Hope – not the world’s wishful, wispy thinking,

But God’s full, secure, overflowing hope.

Rest and rejoice in this abundance,

Living a down-to-earth life of love,

From a long-range look.
