For I am the Lord. I speak, Ezekiel 12:25a NKJ
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUND
Down the street
and around the corner
lives one of my
much younger friends.
A year or more back,
when this young man
hit the ripe old age
of seven,
I heard
that he and his grandfather
were watching
some Canada geese
fly overhead.
Together they listened
to the haunting cry
of the geese.
“That is the most
beautiful sound in the world,”
the grandfather said to the boy.
“No,” came the emphatic reply.
Startled, the grandfather questioned,
“What is the most
beautiful sound, if not that?”
Without missing a beat,
my little friend answered,
“The most beautiful sound
in the world
is the Voice of God –
talking to your heart.”
Out of the mouths of babes,
we might say,
or wonder if this child
will be the next Billy Graham.
Or maybe, just maybe,
someday we will
simply remember
the child’s answer —
and we too will
LISTEN –
to the Voice
of God
in our hearts.——
speaking to each of us—-
for, as my little friend
already knew,—-
it is indeed,
the most beautiful sound
of all.
