Sardines

 Let me tell you

My emotions

Have been all 

Over the place

Gratitude one minute

Bitterness the next

Sadness appears

Then joy appears

As soon as

I step one foot

Outdoors

My soul has

Been on the 

Merry go round

It’s not fun

But today

God gave me

Little blessings

Little miracles

To hold onto 

Until the desires

Of my heart

Become reality


When one of you said in a comment that God keeps blessing me, and I just don’t know it, I didn’t believe you. Now, I’m going to eat crow apparently. The level of my impatience these days is beyond quantifiable.  I’m not proud of this. I have no idea why I’m admitting this. I don’t know if I will ever know why. God is obliterating my timetable with absolute force. Everything is back to basics. I’m going back to the ABC’s of faith. And it’s not fun. I must need a refresher course. Everything is being flipped. I guess God use anything to get my attention. Who knew it would involve a conversation about the tastiest sardines while trying to find them on the shelf in Wal-Mart today.

  1. God can always take the simplest of experiences and turn them on their head to redirect and refresh us. My advice? Go with His flow!

  3. One day at a time, my friend. And there's always a speck of joy in each one, even the very hardest.

  4. A wonderful post. I have similar days with all that we have going on. But I pray, I listen to my music and my husband keeps the laughter rolling. I pray for you my friend and have missed all of this. Take care and keep writing, you are beautiful at writing.

  5. Life is such a contradiction. Happiness and unhappiness seem to present at the same time. It is beautiful that you are able to find those little blessings and recognize them <3

  6. Each moment can offer us joy, we just have to take it slow and appreciate it. Have a good day.

  7. I am smiling right now. Things in this life are constantly evolving in ways unknowable. Support comes in surprising ways. I have been caught up in a nasty spring time allergy/cold. Keeping a cheerful demeanor is a trial in itself. My wife is suffering from memory loss, losing things, constantly needing help with anything electronic, and since the doctor took her drivers license, I am the one who has to drive her to wherever she needs to go. The Lord has been good at making everything possible.

    Prayers, Major hugs and much Love
