pain steals in soft
frozen fangs
tempted by exposed underbelly
plated appetizer
*
pearly whites gnaw
masticate
savour slow the flesh of broken hearts
main course destruction
*
faith foamed and frothed
tenderized
redeems gnashed, broken ingredients
becomes sweet dessert
*
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
Oh , this is good Melody. So glad that He tenderly redeems!
Me, too! There is nothing that can’t be risen above, nothing that can’t be reworked by grace. I love that!
I’m feeling those teeth, praying for more grace. God bless you–and Happy Thanksgiving, whenever y’all have it up north.
Being highly digestible is truly uncomfortable. But – the sweet end to the meal, where grace redeems the troubles – now, THAT’S some good eating!!
Amen–and HE is pouring on the “gravy”, so I feel much better already. Bless you this week!
Oooh – G-R-A-V-Y!!
I know, it’s magical (holy)–like giving a lollypop to a crying 5-yr old. So…is there gluten free gravy, or what do you do? I seem to recall your system can’t handle gluten.
G-free gravy can be almost as good as the real deal – thank goodness!
Whew, I’m relieved for you!
Hey Mel, are you familiar with the book, “Heaven Is Real”? About the Nebraska pastor’s 4-yr old son who, during a medical crisis, went to Heaven–and came back to tell about it? I couldn’t put the book down when I read it some years ago, and now I just watched the movie–fabulous. What made me think of you is that the movie was filmed in Canada. If you get a chance, see it–keep the tissues handy at the glorious ending.
It’s on my must-see list. Will buy a big box of Kleenex!!
I wasn’t expecting the sweet dessert at the end!
I hereby reserve my right to ‘surprise Lyle’ in any way, by any means I deem necessary, herein and forthwith. 🙂 Tongue in cheek aside, I never expected the dessert in my own life, either! Redemption is always palatable -and truly delicious! It is my choice to turn those broken ingredients into something worth savouring. I don’t always get the recipe right, but when I do – wow!
