Finding Jesus


Story of Jesus from Luke chapter two --
Mary and Joseph were coming undone,
anxiously searching midst those trav’ling through,
echoes of God’s voice, “You can’t find my Son?”

“Just only yesterday, we held Him near
right by our side.” and then dropping their brow.
“How could we lose One most treasured and dear?
Should we return to Jerusalem now?”

Safe in the Temple, at end their pursuit,
capably teaching the Son sat unfazed.
Hearing this Boy/Man’s replies so astute
Those who attended His words stood amazed.

Story of Christians from that time to this,
quick a day’s journey away from your Lord.
Noticing nothing of what’s gone amiss.
When did you lose Him – the One you adored?

Busy with duty, true worship you shirk.
All of a sudden you fear He’s not there!
Visit the temple where He does His work;
find Him rock safe in your heart and your prayer.

About the Poet
Growing older with some pains and discomfort, graying hair, glasses, partial plate and hearing aids but with complete assurance of my eternal domain. Saved by choice by Gods free grace by Jesus life, death and resurrection. Born and bred in the Bluegrass State for 24 years, I crossed the Ohio River and became a Hoosier forever thereafter until that time God calls me to my heavenly home. Christian for fifty-five plus years. Church musician and SS teacher for most all of my Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school teacher for thirty-six school terms; retired with a class now of three grandchildren off and on during the week. Wife for half my life to the same superman. Mama to two unique sons. Mother-in-law to a fine daughter; Nana to one darling girl and two handsome guys. God has blessed me abundantly; thank you, Father. God quiets my hackles; God quickens my heart; God quells my hunger. Blessed be His holy name.
