What happens when I fall?
Do I sit there and whine and moan in a pool of self-pity for a time?
Do I jump up and quickly brush myself off, pretending nothing happened despite the bleeding knees?
Or do I deal with what has happened?
Do I weep appropriately in pain?
Do I find someone who can bind my wounds?
Most importantly, do I seek the help of those who can give me the proper aid?
I am now aware of my weakness.
I need to find strength. STOP
Most of all, I need forgiveness and reconciliation.
For that, I often need outside help.
The log in my eye is often difficult to see.
I need the One who forgives
Again and again
Without recrimination.
Amen.
Thank you for sharing.
(Also love your blog’s name!) 🙂
lois, thanks for stopping here. i loved your post! i’ve never been able to write poetry that rhymes without having it sound hokey so found yours to be quite beautiful. do you live in england? or one of the nearby countries? i noticed that your products are sold in pounds not dollars.
very nice to meet you:)
