Lord, Only You

The phone rings . . . serious storms are on the alert, an old confidant warns;

     Seating myself in silence, waiting, as if a good friend is about to arrive.

     Quickly getting up, my thought runs to the kitchen for a cup of coffee;

     Stumbling on the way, the window again, captures my glance        Is there yet a beckoning for me to come and sit?  

 A familiar warmth, whispering, enter, “look at this beautiful sight”!   Look what I have made you – At that moment, seeing the most beautiful palette of pastels that ever be. Sitting to marvel at the view, thinking; Lord, it’s You . . . only You Master a picture so beautiful for all to see.

Out of no where . . . a clap of THUNDER!  raises me from my seat, disturbing my train of thought. A deep  r  o  l  l  i  n  g  of thunder seizes my mind to thoughts of a “potato wagon”,  turning over.  In the heavens? Above my head!  no!

Suddenly  ~~  a howl into my consciousness. “What if! Could something really hit me?” trying to pay no attention I open the door to see a black dash at my feet . . .  quickly averting, there! A stray cat . . . a black one! ~ Beautiful, crying and scared.  Well. F O R    P E T E S    S A K E! The distressed animal shows its affection; reaching out, to my surprise he jumps . . . up into my arms! I can hardly believe it. Together we walk into the kitchen to get that cup of coffee. Just as I extend my arm

. . .  A  H A I R R A I S I N G BOOM! Lights the sky!

The cat  R O C K E T S  to the ceiling, tears away quickly jetting off into the freshly bathed French door, bounces off and lies latent. Guessing he’s now dead; within minutes! I hear a scream; the crazed visitor begins jumping, running here, there and everywhere!

Voices outside, frantic, exclaiming, “The transformer has been hit! “, “It’s the transformer!  LOOK!

Rain begins to pour  . . .  lightning displays its awesome power ~ by the direction of a Living, All Powerful God

Energies within my being instantly reflect truth; God made the lightning revealing His Omnipotence to Job!   VOICING; Can you send out lightnings, that they go, and say to you, ‘Here we are!’?
