I recently experienced God speaking both in words and pictures through Joan Hutson's questions and illustrations in her book, Who says “Twinkle” to the Evening Stars . Listen to the questions she asks of children (or full-of-wonder adults) as she brings a profound message to their/our searching minds and heart:
Who says
“Bloom” to the flowers here and there, and watches over them
with loving care . . .
with loving care . . .
Who says
“Rain” to the little cloud, and tells the thunder “Not too
loud . . .”
loud . . .”
Who says
“It’s time for rain to go and time to make a big rainbow . . .”
Who says “Blossom” to the little plum tree . . . and who says “Ripen” to the plums you see . . .
Who says
“Hatch” to the egg in the nest . . . and starts a little robin on the
quest . . .
quest . . .
Who says “Fireflies
turn on your lights . . . and give the night surprising sights . . .”
Who says to
the waves on the shore “Just this high and no, no more . . .”
Who says
“Scatter” to the milkweed seeds . . . so in the Spring we’ll have beautiful weeds
Who says as
the days grow colder, “Autumn leaves, turn brighter and bolder . . .”
Who says
“Stars, stars, send down My love on all who below are looking above . . .”
Who says to
the little snowflake, “I design each one of you I make . . .”
Who says to
you and me “I love you unconditionally . . .”
Who?
GOD!
Thank You,
God . . .
