To Be Close To Him

Feeling pulled muscles :( Some elderly always ache! Now I feel their pain :( It hurts to get up To sit, stand, walk, bend, or move How long will this last Venting though this poem Helps me cope with everything I don't mean to whine Still, I can do stuff My chores, reading, writing, Prayer Cook, meditate, smile I sure hope and pray My aches and pains will leave me Praying for healing I'm resting, stretching Doing easy exercise I'm hanging in there It's nothing! Compared -- -- to His hanging on the Cross! Extreme aches and pains :( Sharing Suffering Is an opportunity To be close to Him Close enough to kiss --As Mother Teresa said-- A Kiss from the Cross This just in: Update I'm better (thanks be to God) Full recovery! :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue You, LORD, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and You lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. (Psalms 139:1-6. NIV)
