Dining room table when
I noticed a remnant of food stuck
On the chin of one of my guests.
He wasn't aware.
When I tactfully pointed it out,
He sincerely thanked me and
Removed the particle with
His napkin.
I want that kind of relationship with
My Father.
Throughout the day when I gossip, or
Grumble, or harbor anger or
Envy, I want Him to nudge me so
I can say, "I'm sorry. Thanks for the heads up."
I want to flick the sin off, so we can
Continue on with our day.
