Married Minnesotan, mother of two, looking for... more! I'm looking for a personal forum to get all the ideas in my head out, hopefully logically, but probably not. Learning from where I've been, trying to enjoy and rest in where I am now, and looking ahead. I keep finding Christ in my life - no matter how I mess it up, intentional or not! It seems like the strangest place of all for Him to be, hence the name!
FINDING CHRIST IN THE STRANGEST PLACES
By Dave Veerman
How strange
{Luke 2:1–20}
a crib
the baby laid
sin and straw surrounded
soon humble shepherds
exclaimed the news
good will of God abounded
A strange
{Luke 2:41–52}
collect
these learned men
for adolescent questions
and worried mother
found her son
and heard his strong suggestions
Then strange
{Matthew 9:9–13; Luke 19:1-10}
he ate
with sinners known
taxing reputation
his love reaching
up and out
forming faithful nation
Now strange
{John 4:1-26}
this well
on unclean soil
with outcast woman thirsting
his living offer
satisfied
she ran, her message bursting
But strange
{Mark
a vessel
engulfed and tossed
the storm had no relieving
till wakened
his rebuke and peace
had followers believing
So strange
{John 13:1–17}
the basin
water and towel
he took each filthy pair
feet washing
hearts cleansing
the least and greatest there
Soon strange
{John 19:16-30}
that tree
on deadly hill
cursed, condemned, impaled
abandoned, yet
he stayed upon
finished work, sins nailed
And strange
{Matthew 28:1–7}
a grave
for final rest
our Lord entombed that hour
defeated death
burst forth alive
with resurrection power
Most strange
{Galatians
the home
he lives now
another chosen place
God’s own Son
in my life
what incredible grace!
