This weekend there is a wedding at the church and one of the readings is the Dr. Seuss poem, "Oh the Places We'll Go". What a wonderful poem to describe a new adventure, a step into relationship, with an understanding of the ups and downs of life and committed togetherness.
Dr. Seuss' images are powerful illustrations of truths that preachers preach, teachers teach, and prophets prophesy. His stories and poems remind humans of what is truly important and reconfigures how people see themselves.
Grace is found in the learnings of each of his stories: the deep theme, the important truth, the quirky characters, and of course the delightul pictures and the metered rhyme.
Take a moment to "google" - "Oh the Places We'll Go". Enjoy this poem as a devotion for today.
