Sometimes in these dark days, more like a mirage than reality, the promise still appears to be directly ahead. Just when I think that I might make it, out from under my feet drop. Try as I might the wrong road has taken my path again. The bridge is broken and from appearance of it has been for quite some time. The missing warning signs… ignorance quite clearly the culprit. Once again I find myself under the rubble of where I have been. Lend me a downpour Lord to wash away the traces of this- my directional impairment. The storm begins to lessen and as the thunder stops its rolling, I notice a simple sign pointing up. Upon closer inspection of this elevating indication I realize that not every arrival is a finish. Let me look up, and please Lord let my feet follow...  [This message has been edited by jellybeans (04-28-2004 02:20 PM).] |

Just when I think that I might make it, out from under my feet drop. Try as I might the wrong road has taken my path again. Isn't that often the way of it, though??? That the light we see is another oncoming train... and we're suddenly again at the bottom of the ditch we've just crawled out of with only cuts and blisters to show for our efforts. Excellent work, lady... with every write you make faith fresh and present and real. *S* |

"I realize that not every arrival is a finish." That is a quote to be remembered!! Excellent! "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

This was achingly heartfelt and absolutly lovely. beautiful emotion. ~Live and Laugh~ The nice thing about being a pesimest is that your either right, or pleasantly surprised. |

The bridge is broken and from appearance of it has been for quite some time. The missing warning signs… ignorance quite clearly the culprit. My problem has been (so many times) that I ignored the "warning signs" and went right on past them. A very good write, and I love your sig. That's neat.  Hugs, Ethel |

gg and bela, you snuck in while I was thanking so here I go to add 2 more thank you's, so glad you liked thank you lady...and yep, you hit it...when I was writing, I first put there were no warning signs, then changed it to missing, and then in effort of honesty with myself and God had to put that they were and are there, but it was my own ignorance that missed them...sigh, thank you for reading and sharing guess that's why I can't post these until I have lived it, and learned it...course this one seems to be a work in progress *smile* |
