Sometimes, reality strikes. Sometimes, you get shaken out of this self-induced-fog you’re trapped in. It takes something earth-shattering to snap you back into reality to make you understand what’s really important. Family is important! Not some 8-5 places you go to everyday, not whether you have enough groceries, or your floors are clean, sheets washed & folded, grass mowed.
Today, I feel helpless, like there’s nothing I can do. Yes, I can pray, I know my prayers help, they have before. I’ve seen the power of prayer. What else can I do? I know the Good Lord works in mysterious ways, but what is he thinking? It must be a wakeup call?
Sorry if my “Sand Bucket” or “Crab Trap” isn’t upbeat this week. Right now, I don’t have any thoughts about my garden or where I can go on vacation or when I can go to Dillard’s again or HEB …
When I was little, I remember the prayer I used to say every night. It was “Now I lay me down to sleep” and so on. Then at the end, I would say “and God bless,” this is where I would list my parents, grandparents, all the pets I’d ever had, all my friends and all their pets. That part would last longer than the initial prayer. I probably fell asleep listing everyone and everything.
All I can think about now, all that’s on my mind is “Dear Lord, please take care of my family, please watch over them and guide them.”
