Chronic

Pain and illness, distress... death are you sweeter to the life in poor quality? Smile in the face of persecution, Laugh to keep the tears balanced in the eye socket. Block the river's course with determination of will. Varied circumstances, varied emotions Bubbling over the life of the giver into another's moat. The moat may be full or arid. Bubblings may not be welcome, on this day. Return again, my friends and try to gain access Across this moat. Welcome may come.

This is a really touching write because it expresses alot of emotions.....I don't think that pain is ever welcome but we know that God promised that His Grace is sufficient for our every need......I find myself holding on to that promise very tightly cause that is a big one.......Best Wishes, Larry

Do you need to come and watch "Fried Green Tomatoes" with me one more time? We'll go out there and say we are older and have more insurance. Keep the creative pen flowing. Mom

This is lovely and so true...Thanks for your comments, my shoe fable is actually my life.I have 7 children, and after my husband made the mistake of his life, I kicked out the heel, and then put in a pool! Funny how nursery rhymes trigger real life! :) Thanks Jeralynn
