I just can’t get a handle on this –

every time I think I’ve learned my lesson,

I lose my grip,

and good intentions get buried

beneath this chip on my shoulder.

Is there a How-To Manual

for letting go?

Shovelling this load

has taken its toll.

Lord –

please remind me

that You’re

handling this…

    A how to manual; oh we wish 🙂 But, nah, then it would be too easy. It would spoil the fun.

    1. melodylowes

      Absolutely… (It’s supposed to be fun, then?) 😀

    This is so true . . . how often do we try to dig our way out of things . . . when all along God has the shovel in His hands making our way clear!

      Ha ha! I think it’s under a new title, ’cause I’m having trouble finding it myself… 🙂

    Oh boy, is this one for me, or what??!!! You must have had a window on my world. Thanks for the great poem–maybe I should tape it up somewhere…I know, on the inside of my door so that coming, or going, I’ll be headed in the right direction: HIS.

      No stapler this time? ;P

        The staple marks are beginning to look like large pores…
