As Good As Eggs
You lay blue plates upon the table
Chipped, they are still good for us
and for friends who are never company
Eggs like steaming, golden clouds
fill the room with goodness
Such joy and nourishment from broken things
Our eyes meet over Grace and know
we are as good as eggs.

...You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you... Joel 2:25-26

I know just what you mean. God makes glory come from what anyone else would toss away. I printed this off to share with some fellow omelet lovers.

ReplyDeleteLove that looks so simple, so every day, so basic is the deepest and most wonderful kind. Thanks, Kim.
