yes the truth is here

 What disability teaches you

Humility

Perseverance 

How to be uncomfortable 


humble enough

to admit you

can only type

twenty words 

a minute

do not have 

full range of motion

and my legs 

hurt after

sitting 

or standing 

too long


Perseverance 

To recognize

What you used

to deny

even if

meant you 

were lying

and know

to truth

telling

is fulfilling


how to be uncomfortable 

This is so hard

because often

your discomfort

must be seen

to get help

Pride must fall

every day

in every way

    Being human is definitely an adventure ~ not always one that we enjoy all the time ~ Poignant poetry.

    Sitting in the uncomfortable was one of the things I have been working on this Advent season. Thank you for the reminder.

    Pride is a tough thing. I've finally learned it is okay not to be able to do everything anymore.

    Bless you dear one. Sometimes I find myself complaining about my discomfort, and then I read this and realize I don't know what discomfort really is. Please forgive me, Father. And please bless my friend with some real comfort just about now. Thank you, Lord.
