We seem to be living
a life of planned serendipity,
scripted moments, rather than pure chance
the consequences of more than mere free will
We turned our choices over
in repeated moments of prayer and reflection
To let Your will be done through us
How blessed we feel when we see the fruits
The not so random experiences unfolding
before our marveling eyes.
Lessons in scripture, in the words of our pastors,
in the circumstances around us;
feeling our lives are part of your plan.
