Prodigal: Howdy! Guess what I just saw. I found a couple of beautiful sailboats out in the water. They seemed so peaceful.
Me: How long have you been looking out yonder?
Prodigal: Since this morning.
Me: I have a poem that I would like to recite that I think you will enjoy as you continue to watch the water.
Bisphop Ralph Cushman “The Secret”
I met God in the morning, when the day was at its best,
And His presence came like sunrise, with a glory in my breast.
All day long His Presence lingered, All day long He stayed with me,
And we sailed in perfect calmness over a very troubled sea.
Other ships were blown and battered; other ships were sore distressed,
But the winds that seemed to drive them brought to us a peace and rest.
Then I thought of other mornings with a keen remorse of mind,
When I too had loosed the moorings with His Presence left behind.
So I think I know the secret, learned from many a troubled way.
You must seek Him in the morning if you want Him through the day.
Exodus 33:14
