whose list?

ADRIENNE MEAD TINDALL

well all i can say is thank heaven!
because it
really helps to recall in those beautiful words
(how grateful i am for those beautiful words!)
that You're taking care of even every little sparrow...
(astonishing... everywhere-all-the-time
tiny-great... uninterrupted...)
for right here on this ("my") list in front of me are
such flocks of things to do
and they're all flying everywhichway...

chattering with details
for care
and cherishings
for rightdoings
and completed lovings...
it's perfectly clear that just
"i"
can't handle it all...

so thank heaven!
my reality list is only one (1) item long (just one)
to do Your list ...
