Abundance

Less than twenty-four hours prior,
I had bought my ticket.
Not even all my family knew I was in town.

I walked into church and saw
My best friend from high school.
She had been on her way to another church

But was running late and decided
En route
To visit this one.

And so I sat in that sanctuary,
Rich with the presence of the Lord,
And reflected

That I had been to church
With my friend
In high school, in college,

And now married, both of us with young,
As we held hands during the Lord’s prayer,
As we took communion one after the other.

This lavish gift,
Orchestrated by the Father,
Enjoyed during a teaching on the Father’s

Abundance.
