A very good thing
Tuesday and Wednesday
So full we can hardly remember it
And already we needed a sleep in today
Tuesday morning
Aiden and a friend
destroyed a city
And defended Antartica and Asia
In the basement
It's now a lego mine-field
Tuesday afternoon
A long-awaited
Yet dreaded
Goodbye play and talk
With dear friends
Tuesday evening
The mop up aftermath
Of sore hearts
Grappling with sadness
Stormy emotions in all of us
Yet so thankful too
For God's blessings on us
To have such strong ties
All the way He has led
To this Ottawa home
For Skype and email
To keep us still connected
And feeling not quite so far away
Glad to not have to rely
On snail mail
Wednesday morning
Jasmin still over the moon
To be a full day with her friend
For far away co-op work and play
The rest of us at church
Basking with the goodness of belonging
Wednesday afternoon
Outwardly focused
Helping others
Hearts singing with fierce joy
Being the right people at the right time in the right place
Wednesday evening rewarded
With quiet husband help tidying the house disaster
With growing up girl supper on the table
With big boy aspirations to hold the inner storm
With God-given prizes of our own inner healing
What will the next days hold? Who knows but God! A very good thing He does so we can not worry of all that is not getting done - yet!
