It Is All Around You. Poem by Carl R Nicolas

The Miracle of Existence.
For life itself
is a tangible gift from God...seen in the breath we take...
felt in the love we share...
and manifested in the world we touch...

We often wait for the sky to part, for some intangible whisper... but God is a tangible God... He gives blessings you can feel, touch, and use to change the landscape of your life daily...

God's blessings are not only whispered in heaven,
they walk beside us on earth...They appear in our ability to plan,
to dream beyond today,
to build what once lived only in our imagination...

They appear in love,
the quiet power that binds hearts together...

Your very existence is the first gift... A deliberate divine gift...

Every act of kindness,
every vision brought to life,
every moment we choose compassion
over indifference, these are God's tangible gifts
moving through us...Grace is alive in the world...God's tangible gifts are
in motion across the earth...

It is all around you. Touch it. Use it. It is yours...
Carl Nicolas.
