“Doug”

Thanks, Doug –
You brought into my chaos-ed life
A sense of peace;
Through guidance, sweet release;
For at the first
When first you “Mind-ed” me
You taught me how
To in God’s favor be –

“Three ways God speaks
To us, if we will heed –
It’s Scripture first
On list, that’s how I see;
So stay in that
If you would hear His word;
One channel that,
Through which He can be heard.

“The second’s prayer –
That’s one-on-one direct;
That’s how and when –
However you select
Is less important
Than the fact of prayer;
Give equal time
To speak and listen there.

The third, activity – is life lived out
On Kingdom-layer, for He’s around, about,
And speaks to each in ways and means diverse;
Attune your being, be not life-averse.

“If you can’t hear on channel one today,
Try two or three – perhaps He wants to play
His role of guide through all your days of life,
Or part of it, where you can see His light.”

You said much more – but that is typical
Of how you spoke into this particle
Of body life – how blessed we all have been;
Farewell, my friend, ’till we in heaven are seen.

Thanks Lord For This
