I had a job interview today with the Houston Grand Opera. The lady I interviewed with had a whole wall made of corkboard and this beautiful "thing" was on the wall.
Cold Sassy Tree
Carlisle Floyd
And when God put us here, He said ..."
"I give you eyes to see the world and all the beauties in it, like the sun comin' up or butterflies. So don't mock Me by being
blind!"
"I give you ears so that you can hear all the sweet sounds on this earth, like the laughter of children or a fiddle tune. So don't mock Me by being
deaf!"
"Most of all, I give you a heart that's as wide as the sky, that can fill with joy or with pain. So don't mock Me ..." with an empty heart ..."... 'cause that says you have missed out on
life! ..." ... that you've scorned why I put you here.'"
"When God decides my time is up, I'll be heartbroke to turn loose of this world. But I'll still be grateful to Him that in His wisdom, His infinite wisdom, He put me here."
Amen.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have heard!
