Poiema

"The Bible tells us that we are God's masterpieces (Greek poiema); not only creatures, but His creations, His poems (Ephesians 2:10). We are living epistles (2 Corinthians 3:3). And so, our lives are meant to be listened to, because it is God who is speaking into and out of and through them, through the parable of each day, the symphony of the years, and the masterpiece of a lifetime."

The Poem of Your Life, by Michael Card.

The parable of our day includes the hum of a water heater, the warmth of a propane fireplace, and the whir of a dishwasher. The fog has cleared, the odor is dissipating, and I can hear and see the details of my life once again.
