Roy, you are surely blessed.
Stay true to who you are. I am not a fan of big preachers, big pulpits and big money to spread God's word which should be given freely. After all, Christ did not charge, nor did he sit himself upon a pedestal. And, He went to the people..
love your work..

so very humble

A beautiful photo and text by Mother Teresa, that complements your poem very well. Your wife already was a cleaner in the church's team. You aimed for higher tasks. But a vacancy appeared within the cleaning team. So you had to do it. An extremely nice poem. Thanks for sharing.

Well sometimes God has a good sense of humor. He is very creative in finding just the right place for a person to be. Maybe it taught you how to be a better cleaner.

Keep writing

I'm coming her just after reading your part two, and this first part was just as amazing. It, again, reveals your faith and passion, which is always a lovely thing to see appear in poems.

A very well-written poem/story. Until we do what God planned for us, we just exist with no real purpose in life. We should ask God to show us what His plan is when we feel we are not at the right place in our lives.

Hi Roy, this is a lovely poem and I especially like the fact that it is a true story. Good abcb rhyme and it is maintained throughout. I like the use of metaphor in 'finding a hole' - finding a need and filling it. You say you are not a good cleaner, but you have found that hole and what is more you will get great satisfaction from it. A good entry to the contest - good luck. Warm regards Dorothy

Oh Roy! This is so incredibly beautiful, and once again, your poem is just what has been on my mind, and answers the question, "Where do you want me, Lord?" I will look harder for the 'hole'. :)

My hole appeared vety quickly, dear Dawn, sometimes our backs to the wall is required, God has prospered me ever since, just because I responded, unhappily at the time, but never with regret. Bless you for your encouragement. Blessings, Roy

Cleaning the church. It's a start. There are many ways that aren't that organized. Every day, if you watch, you'll meet people in need of help. Do they deserve your help? Don't ask, just help. The more you do what He did, the more you are living the right way.

My husband is this kind of man. He's been rewarded for helping strangers, but that's not why he does it. When you ask him, he says, "Because I could." If we all did what we could to help others, the world would be sooooo much happier. But then, Earth is not supposed to be happy... it's a challenge on purpose. It's how we learn.
