Friends fell and broke a couple of ribs,
Followed by another who did the
Same,
Followed by my neighbor who
Struck her head and required
Staples,
Followed by me who tumbled
Over my sweeper cord, causing
Only rug burns to my knees, but
Serious injury to my pride.
The mishaps remind me of one of
My "go to" verses:
"The steps of a good man are
Ordered by the Lord, and He
Delights in his way. Though
He fall he shall not be utterly
Cast down, for the Lord upholds
Him with His hand." *
When I stumble spiritually, my
Father hangs on to me, pulls
Me to my feet and gets me
Back on task,
Battered perhaps, with a
Bruised pride, but hopefully, wiser.
*Psalm 37:23
