Empty (paper?)
The page is glaring at me.
White, huge, a slice of nothing…
Waiting to be something.
What if I can not?
What if I simply can not?
It is laughing at my lack of hope.
It is mocking my emptiness of faith.
I have no joy today.
So I pray.
“Lord, help me to do something,
anything with the time you have generously given me.
Guide me, that I might not waste even a minute,
precious in “His” fullness of life.
Help me to remain on track and move ever forward…
the direction toward You.”
My hands part.
I look up.
The world is brighter.
How can I explain, that talking to him… does that…!
How can I share that with… others?
The page is less empty.
It does not have enough color, so I will get my crayons.
That task, all fun. (chores)
I hope the rest of them…
those He sets before me…
are as easy to complete.
Amen.
