Now for a real post...
I sent this poem out on my Mikey's Funnies email humor list today, as an inspirational offering. Hope you enjoy it...
Eyes              Lids, lashes, and pupils                         blinking, darting, sensing the light
             Soon seeing, gazing, learning, reading              Then perceiving, knowing, penetrating                         with divine perspective                                  watching the world                                        seeking his own                                              looking beyond
Feet              Ten toes and nails, two soles and heels                         kicking in a manger
             Soon giving support to confident crawl, tentative first steps, and toddling walk              Then running, skipping, pacing, striding                         strolling along dusty lanes                                 standing in synagogues                                        walking on dirty city streets                                              moving up the hill of Calvary
Mouth              Lips and tongue and vocal chords                         feeding, crying to announce earthly entrance
             Soon with words and sentences-talking, replying, laughing, asking              Then welcoming, teaching, guiding, telling                         giving words for hearing ears                                 revealing God's kingdom plan                                        offering forgiveness                                              and eternal life
Hands              Tiny fingers, knuckles, palms                         opening, waving, reaching for Mary
             Soon acting with purpose-steadying, pointing, clapping              Then working, embracing, writing, grasping                         strong and calloused for carpentry or for scattering Temple tables                                 yet tender - welcoming children                                        touching a blind man, lepers, the woman                                              washing feet, carrying the Cross
You saw me              Came to me                         Spoke my name                                 Touched my heart
My SAVIOR
