This vineyard

is so much bigger than I realize most days

my eyes are on me again

my hands

Clenched--closed

 I want to keep my own grapes

  to keep them whole--while you are Holy

but grapes

become wine

--as wheat becomes bread

---both must be Crushed

Crushed--not clenched

so here--again

i open my hands

  wide

--a willed release

  "here then--take them"

   -and offer up a piddly, sticky offering--a pittance

"Its yours"

and I receive from you

  the bread and the wine

the body

--Crushed

the bride

--purified

the groom

--pleased

YES--this is what I live for

TAKE--

whatever makes you smile

and I will smile too

because we each have our place in my Father's vineyard

and HE is so much bigger than I realize most days
