Delight

The good news is that God has such low standards

And reaches out to those of us who oftentimes are unlovable

And offers us a chance to come back inside out of our storm

Of drama and toxic thoughts

Love reaches out and reaches out and reaches out

It is staggering that it is always giving another chance

Another day

Over and over and over

Or maybe, it isn’t low standards – but high delight

                                   By delight I mean                    Mother 

looking over the crib at her sleeping baby

                                Daddy                 bouncing baby on his knee

Laughing and laughing and laughing

Maybe God’s delight in us is just so much

So big so high

That the dirt smudge on our cheek doesn’t bother him.

And Remember

delight true delight is best received when it is reciprocated

Given back to the giver

Mutual Joy in the Other
