A Word For The Overwhelmed

So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don't give up. ~ Galatians 6:9, HCSB

When things are flying at you from all directions; when you feel bombarded and frustrated and weary, ill-equipped to face what (or whom) is staring you down; when anxiety and fear threaten to paralyze you today; when whatever you have done and are currently doing looks like it's not making any difference to anyone, but instead, seems like SUCH a waste of time -- take a breath. Look to and lean on your God and your King.

Snow

Looking out my window,
Waiting.....
Waiting for it --


snow


I feel its grey heaviness in the air,
The expectation.....
That silent calm before the storm --


Snow


Finally, a few flakes here and there,
Falling gently, tenderly.....
and then --


SNOW!

Pure white confetti falling,
Riotously, joyfully....
onto my life's parade -- 


SNOW!!!!

Now with head thrown back,
and eyes closed,
Catching frosted ivory flakes
upon my tongue.....
I'm ten again!

If only for a moment -- 


Whoa!!
Snow!!


"Enjoy the little things in life....
for one day you'll look back and realize
they were the big things." ~ Robert Brault
