WEARY (RVD)

SUNDAY MORNING

THE VERY LAST THING I FEEL LIKE DOING

IS GETTING OUT OF BED.

MY ENTIRE BODY HURTS.

WHAT'S NEW?

BUT IN ORDER TO CONTINUE,
I MUST PUSH THROUGH.

MY SPIRIT MUST BE FED.

AND AS THE GOOD BOOK SAYS,

WE MUST NOT GIVE UP ON GATHERING TOGETHER,

(I'M PARAPHRASING HERE.)

BECAUSE OF MY BACK INJURIES,

IT NORMALLY TAKES ME ABOUT TWO HOURS

TO GET READY.

I HAVE TO WEAR STYLISH CLOTHES,

AGE-APPROPRIATE, OF COURSE,

MAKE-UP JUST RIGHT,

HAIR PERFECT,

AND CAN I GET MY BOOTS ON
WITHOUT MAKING THIS USELESS BACK WORSE?

OR MAYBE

I SHOULD JUST STAY IN MY PJs

AND WATCH TV ALL DAY INSTEAD.

BUT HOW IS THAT GOING TO HELP THE HURTS

THAT I'M FEELING,

THE SCARS THAT HAVE BEEN FORMED?

LIFE ISN'T LIKE THEY SHOW IT

ON THOSE SILLY PROGRAMS.

LIFE IS FULL OF UPS AND DOWNS,

NOT TO MENTION THE DETOURS THAT ABOUND.

AND THIS IS ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW.

WHY DO YOU THINK I'VE SAT ON THAT

WHITE PICKET FENCE

TOO MANY TIMES?

'CUZ I'M TIRED OF ALL OF THESE STORMS.

GOD IS WITH ME

AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN

THROUGH THE THICK AND THIN.

I KNOW THAT I AM THE ONE THAT WALKS AWAY FROM HIM.

SO HOWEVER GOD CHOOSES TO USE

THESE WORDS THAT FLOW STRAIGHT FROM

MY PITIFUL BROKEN HEART,

I WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT

TO THE VERY END.

GALATIANS 6:9

LET US NOT BECOME WEARY IN DOING GOOD, FOR AT THE PROPER TIME WE WILL REAP A HARVEST IF WE DO NOT GIVE UP.
