Join me in the
Five Minute Friday Challenge hosted by Lisa-Jo Baker. Participants write for 5 minutes
with no editing, no over thinking, and no backtracking. This week’s word is: Grace.
(Go)
The piles pile
up.
The mess
gathers round.
I am tired – at
the most inconvenient of times.
The pinching
nerves in my shoulders keep a steady stream of ache in my arms.
I feel like I
have been served more than I can chew some days.
And yet…
This is all
part of His plan.
He has allowed
these things.
He has blessed
me with these things.
I do not mean
to complain.
I want to enjoy
what I have.
To live.
Fully alive.
My kind of
adventure is probably not the same as yours.
Neither are my
victories.
Life has taught
me to celebrate the little things;
To see, and to
seek, the beauty in each day.
And as I learn
to love myself and others where we are at-
To extend grace
to each moment.
I am grasping just
how
To eat an
elephant,
One small bite
at a time.
(Stop)
Now, your
turn…
"To see, and to seek, the beauty in each day." There are days when we really need push ourselves to SEEK it, aren't there? And yet, when we do, there it is! He is faithful!

Seek and you shall find! This has certainly been true for me this past few days. He is so very faithful indeed... Bless you heaps :)
DeleteReturning the visit from FMF. I'm so sorry for your struggle, but so thankful that His sufficient grace is producing this kind of inspiration in the midst of weakness. Your thoughts remind me of something my husband says..."By the yard it's hard, but by the inch it's a cinch." You have my utmost respect for finding victory in the midst of pain.
ReplyDeleteOoh what a great quote! Will have to remember that one. Thanks for returning the visit. Blessings :)
DeleteYou bless me with this perspective. And this reminder that one bit at a time, one bite at a time, is all we're meant to chew on. Even if life tries to shove more like 10 bites at a time into our mouths. Love you sister friend. HEAPS
ReplyDeleteThank you Missy. I am blessed to know you. Thanks for the encouragement. xx
