About That Reed Shaken with the Wind
What went ye out into the wilderness
to see?
A reed shaken with the wind?
-Saint Matthew 11:8
A swaying riverside reed
is a marvelous thing
In its proper service to our
gracious Lord
A stalk of grass honoring its
Creator
In quiet, unassuming
dignity
Symbolisms are laid upon
the reed
In power-point sermons and
learned texts
But first of all it is but
a nice little reed
Joining its labors with those
of the whispering wind
Until Our Lord Himself calls
upon that reed
Even as He calls upon us for
some small deed
