Out of Seven Billion People on Earth

As we prayed for an unborn babe at a shower,
One prayer began, “Out of seven billion people
On earth, I get to be one of this gathering of 25.”
Chosen, distinct, set apart.

I like that thought for any gathering,
Or none. When I read to my sons:
Out of seven billion,
We six are sharing this book.

When visiting with a friend: we two
Have fellowship. When worshipping,
Or shopping, or learning: feel chosen. Even
Alone, I am sanctified and with my savior.
