Complete

Alone, working nights
Raising mice, and wee piggies,
Life seemed perfect except
I needed a friend,
Someone who would understand,
who could listen about my wanting deepness
with God and struggling with what my church taught me.

Enter a man, with a wimpy dog
My dog beat him up (tried) when they first met.
Friendship formed. Hearts listened.
Completeness
Yet, not quite

A lad came along
A talkative fellow who made noises
at me all day long even as a youngster, and
now a young man growing, chatter fills our days
Completeness
Yet, not quiteComplete, a poem

God keeps calling
Reminding me, showing
Gathering me in, Beckoning,
Examples in disciples of long ago.
Remembering, and then telling.
Completeness?
Not sure.

Then as I ponder I see
Rabbits…the joy of critters
The lad… the wonder of learning and growth
The hubby…the steadiness and push to be more.
And before I know it.. I see it.
The completeness the Lord has given
Different pieces that aren’t quite enough
and rounded out
These gifts of God
Along with the calling and the showing and the teaching
Gives me what I need
to be
Complete.
