Every agate has its own design.
Their swirls and colors are one of a kind.
Formed in the dark, completely out of sight;
They reveal the Creator when shown in the light.
The life of a tree in reflection is formed;
Exposed when a craftsman’s work is born.
The beautiful patterns to each kind it’s own,
The Creator’s design reflects how it’s grown.
Lord help me the special gifts to see,
In each of the children You’ve given me.
Help me to see what makes them unique,
Then I can help them as their callings they seek.
Make me patient as they sort out life.
Make me steady in faith through times of strife.
As layer by layer built up they form,
A reflection of God’s Son to us born.
