The Assignment
Wendy has the paper on her desk and the pen in her hand. She can see the picture in her mind of which she is suppose to write, but to put it on paper.... how can that be done? Her assignment is to write about how she feels Gods love is shown. Wendy knows that this will stretch her view on writing. If she were painting a picture, this would be the most creative and informative painting she had ever done.... but to write about it.
When Wendy sees a mother drenched in sweat and tears streaming down her face, holding her tiny and perfect newborn son, Wendy sees Gods love. When Wendy sees a father brushing his daughters long, wavy blonde hair and putting little red ribbons with blue flowers at the end of her loose braid, Wendy sees Gods love. When a brother and sister play tag together and big brother lets little sister when a time or two, just so she won't quit playing, Wendy sees Gods love. How can this act of family be put on a simple blank sheet of paper?
Walking downtown, with the streets full of wrappers from Mcdonalds, cans once containing pop or beer, fliers advertising the next big show and various other forms of dabrie, and Wendy sees a homeless man with a stick that has a nail stuck in the bottom, picking up the garbage to make the city beautiful once again, Wendy sees Gods love. A woman gets out of a limousine wearing the finest clothes and jewelry and offers to buy the homeless man a meal and some groceries to have for a later time. The woman thanked him kindly for caring for our beautiful city. How can this act of caring be put on a simple blank sheet of paper?
The smiles on families faces though they just lost everything they owned in the last hurricane that devoured the entire town, when the trucks show up, with construction crews from all over the country. Men and women, which left there families during this Thanksgiving week to build up new houses for those with no home to give thanks in. Clothes brought in from the Salvation Army and Red Cross. Toys donated by Toys-R-Us, and food hand delivered from surrounding states. How can this act of giving be put on simple blank sheet of paper?
The warm inviting sun in the summer, with the pools and parks so full of life. The trees changing from green to orange to red to brown in the fall. Celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior in the winter, and the rain and growth of the flowers in the spring. How can this nature be put on a simple blank sheet of paper?
If this assignment were a painting Wendy could do, it would be easy. Gods love is seen and felt everywhere Wendy goes and she knows the pictures to show Gods love, but since the assignment is to write of Gods love, Wendy can only write these few simple words.
FAMILY
CARING
GIVING
NATURE
LOVE
These are five of the biggest words Wendy feels best describe how Gods love can be seen by all.
