• Abundance

  I'd like to take a moment
  (of impromptu broken prose)
  to give thanks
  
  to a God who provides
  much more
  than I even ask for
  
  and for my students
  (my seniors)
  (two, in particular)
  (or maybe four.
  make that five.
  aw, shucks, while we're at it
  make it all of them)
  
  who've shown me their love
  and given it to me in abundance
  
  especially the two tonight
  who kicked me out of my own office
  (8:45pm)
  (miss song, what are you doing?)
  (we're not leaving until you leave
  and that's not fair b/c we have to go to the dorm
  and study for your final...)
  
  (disclaimer: it was after a show
  put on my my kids which ended at 8:30)
  
  I am grateful that even as I pour myself out
  I am being poured into
  and this pouring in
  I am so addicted to
  that I will keep pouring
  so that I can keep being filled up
  
  (O fill it up)
  
  and I will keep decreasing
  ever the more (happily)
  so that He can increase in my life
  
  Here's to our God
  who does exceeding abundantly above
  all that we ask or think
  (Ephesians 3:20)
  
  i am forever in debted
  forever in love
  
  and words are never an oblation enough
  my deeds never sufficient
  
  thanks, Lord.
  thanks, kids.
  
  sigh.
