Thursday Night

Clutter of bills...
mountains of laundry
building
the
giant
felt from within...
cluttered perception
jaundiced by worry...
approaching the spirit that
cowered within...then shouts of
Organize!
Organize!
taunted the pale one...
...besieged,
...tormented...
...nettled...
...distraut...
and wondering how the divide would be crossed...
...Peace, Be still
uttered the Savior;
extending His hand
to the creature in awe...
for awaiting the child's
response to His leading;
His gratified pale one accepted
His grace...

reading the first part stresses me out. those things- the laundry, the bills, the looming pressure to get organized/get it together- these are oppressive. But Jesus... calling us to sit at His feet and be filled... get rest. That's lovely.

I am glad you liked it. I was trying to give myself a pep talk.

Have a cup o'joy,
