Little Stones

by - 11:00 AM

Sometimes when I'm having a harder day and need a little bit of extra love, I look for heart-shaped rocks. It might sound dumb, but I see them as little signs from God that He still cares. I always feel better when I see one.

Weirdly, there was no one else in the park that day, so I got the whole beach to myself. As I walked along the river's edge, the words of one of my favourite songs came to mind.

Rolling River God
Little stones are smooth
Only once the water passes through
So I am a stone
Rough and grainy still
Trying to reconcile this river's chill

But when I close my eyes
and feel You rushing by
I know that time brings change
and change takes time
And when the sunset comes
My prayer would be this one:
That you might pick me up
And notice that I am
Just a little smoother in Your hand

 At that moment, I looked down and saw it.

A heart-shaped rock. Right in front of my feet. 
I pocketed it and went home feeling loved.
