Tired, weary, crampy feet

She knew they needed a sweet treat.

‘‘Twas found on the recliner seat.

But lo, there was no time

Her mother called from far away

“We have a problem here today”

And so she fell on knees to pray

While her daughter ate her fish.

Her Ford Explorer zoomed to town

Her spirits feeling not so down

She must return shirts to amazon

And groceries and target were her goal

She stopped for lunch at a grocery store 

As far as time- she needed more

But baby M was not impressed

At the choice of its mothers sustenance

The baby inside threw a royal fit

But the momma made it to her appointment.

In one whole piece!! Imagine that!

After target and UPS

She headed home-Home to a mess

A short nap while her daughter napped

(She was still at her nanas-are you surprised at that?)

There was supper to be made and groceries to be put away

But she chose to go out on this hot hot hot day.

Even the chickens today didnt lay.

After all, it was a Monday..

So the housewife escaping the mess

Went outside in this heat and mowed some grass.

The farmer came home

What a nice thing to see

The family ate supper

And rode golf cart with glee

Again the housewife escaped from themaze

The dishes, the groceries, the diapers the CRAZE

but she soon then repented and worked like she should

And now she’s enjoying some time with her brood… (Even tho it’s only two in her brood)

Traditions

I’m glad  the Lord cares about me to give me inspirations! This one strengthened my faith in the Church. 

“Old Daniel of old, he was asked not to pray. To his God up in Heaven in his own usual way…

Usual…. What would’ve been the outcome of Daniel if he would be have prayed like sometimes I’m tempted to do. Or have done before.. “oh God just understand and allow this to pass this time…” “Just let me off easy..” I imagine myself in Daniel’s shoes sighing this prayer as I walk up the steps and pray near my window.. Maybe kneel underneath the window. Low enough to where I cannot be seen.. or Maybe I jus kneel beside my bed. Or don’t kneel at all during the 30 days? 

I don’t know how God would’ve looked at that.  I would’ve still prayed! Sure.!!

But I wouldn’t be giving God myself.. Sometimes I groan and sigh about some of “our” traditions.. and wonder can’t we be less traditional! Or I feel like we are just stuck in a rut.. but this gave me courage to embrace those. Maybe sometimes they need to change. Maybe sometimes we are stuck in a rut. Maybe we do need to think outside the box. I don’t mean to say we don’t. But I want to make sure to take an extra look and make sure that I’m still willing to let God have all of me.
