this morning's walk in the wood
Went for a walk this morning in the woods,
Which were crisp, cool and beautifully colored,
Whenever I go walking I always talk to God as I walk,
I have a pattern I follow in our conversation,
(It reminds me of David in the Psalms)
First I start out whining and fussing or angry
Then I remember God's greatness
Then I feel rebuked and ask forgiveness
Then I feel forgiven
Then I shut up and am ready to listen
Then God speaks
Then I feel peace and joy
This morning I made it to God's greatness
And was interrupted by countless hunters in the woods,
So I'll go back this afternoon and try to find and quieter and safer spot
