My dad forwarded this to me. There was no author listed, so I took some literary rights and tweeked it a little and added a couple of scriptures - so if anyone knows who the original author is - please let me know! Enjoy!
Whispers
Author Unknown
A man whispered, "Father, speak to me," and a meadowlark sang.
But, the man did not hear.
So the man yelled, "Father, speak to me," and the thunder rolled across the sky.
But the man turned his back to the storm.
The man looked around and said, "Father, let me see you," and a star shone brightly.
But the man did not see.
And, the man shouted, "Father, show me a miracle," and a life was born.
But, the man did not notice.
The man whimpered, "Father, I need your help!" and an e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and encouragement.
But, the man deleted it and continued to call out.
In desperation, the man cried out, "Touch me, Father, and let me know you are here." Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.
But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.
A wise man doesn’t miss out on Heaven’s blessings just because they aren’t packaged the way that he expected.
“Nevertheless, because those miracles were worked by small means it did show unto them marvelous works….” Alma 37:41
Heavenly Father is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted.
“…And thus we see that by small means the Lord can bring about great things.”
1 Nephi 16:29
