Nothing significant, except a quote and a sort of response poemish...in light of this week, it's humorous that I'm posting, but this has been on my mind lately.
"What is this praise He's after? It is Praise Living. It is GOD leaning in and shouting, "I am the center!" and the sum of our lives nodding back in agreement." --D*Crowd, Praise Habit
Piety.
If my life were a pie,
cut accordingly,
You might not get a slice.
She might get one,
and one for her as well,
and maybe even one for him.
And I suppose
there would be one piece
for some others to share.
But the rest?
all for me.
I, a glutton of my own self,
would feed on the largest part.
And maybe I would feel guilty,
with that weight
sitting heavy now in my belly.
Or perhaps I would just exercise
to distract myself.
And maybe, I would get so sick
that next time, I would
give away more slices.
But You? Not a sliver.
If I were clever (or pie-ous?), I would say,
"You don't need a piece,
for You are the whole pie. You are both
center and crust, sustaining and fulfilling."
And well, maybe I can say that.
But really, if it came down to it,
I would be content with the entirety
and a fork.
