day 291

“And all were astounded at the greatness of God.” Luke 9:43a

 

it is not the multimillionaire

athlete phoning in his game,

but the Special Olympian

reaching the finish line

long after everyone else,

nor the politician determined

to enrich themselves by

the office they hold, but

the little girl emptying her

piggybank for the cancer fund

for a classmate she barely knows

who reveals your greatness

to us, O God, for they know you

better than we do
