so much more

"earth is crammed with heaven
and every common bush ablaze with God
but only he who sees, takes off his shoes
the rest can only sit and pick blackberries"

i saw this yesterday written in the margin of my Bible in Exodus when Moses sees the burning bush. i think my old testament professor shared this with the class one day many years ago. i think i may have even blogged this poem before. i guess i really like it. sitting and picking blackberries sounds very pleasant and yummy, but God has so much more to show us and give us. If we will only have eyes to see and a heart to worship and obey.
