this week. . .
a poem by gina l.norman
this week, when i rise, i'll make
my bed so i can enjoy my vintage heirloom quilts. . .
or if i am unable, that's
ok too, i accept where i'm at
this week, i'll open my bible
and continue reading in the gospel
of matthew--chapters 5-7 are golden,
although if it doesn't happen, i'll fall
into the hands of grace, because i
don't live by religion or rules
this week i will pack lunches for madelynn every single day and bake a beautiful zesty lasagna for dinner with cheese that bubbles til it's crustiness is perfected,
but if i just can't accomplish this, i'll still accept that i'm a good wife and mother.
this week, i will speak gently to my loved
ones and ask them how i can meet their
needs,
but if i fall short, i know they will
forgive me and i will not beat myself up
over it.
source
this week, as i approach a new day,
i will think about others, and reach
out to a stranger or two and ask
them how their day is going. . .
but if for some reason i fail at
doing this, i will plan on it next week. . .
source
this week, next week--i'm a work in progress and the journey embarked upon is perfectly flawed.
but hey my heart and soul are in it and i'm not givin up. because all i have seen teaches me to trust my creator for all i have not seen.
