Flyers face downdrafts,
Things that send them plummeting from the skies.
This week
They hit,
The downdrafts.
They were all minor.
That makes it worse.
How can I succumb
To such minor challenges?
A slow computer
When I could simply use my husband’s.
A mild virus
When so many suffer from
Debilitating diseases and chronic conditions.
Lack of motivation
When family and clients alike are not pressuring me.
A cold house
When so many have no shelter from the elements.
Expressions of concern
When vast numbers have no-one who cares for them.
Responsibilities
When I have the wherewithal to accomplish
What needs to be done.
Times of…
Stress.
Anger.
Depression.
Reminders that anything good in me
Is not because of some innate value
But divine grace.
I must cling to that truth
And once again
Take to the skies.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come…(2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV),
