JUST WHEN!

Just when I'm feeling
   your presence,
the toilet over flows!!
Just when I'm being
   grateful,
for this teenager,
I hear "I hate you, Mom
Three minutes later...
"Thanks, Mom, I didn't
   mean it"!
Faulty plumbing and schizo
   kid!
Thank You for this food,
   Lord,
and the cat throws up
   at my feet!
Who says You don't have
   a sense of humor!

ROFL Ellie! You made me laugh this morning, thank you!

He does have a sense of humor that's for sure. I know it's not always easy to laugh at those situations.  I tell ya sometimes it seems the more we thank Him and try to get closer, the more Satan will mess with us.

Look at what Job went through.

I liked this very much Ellie!

And the other will save your soul.

Some times, Ellie, it is long after the fact that we can see the humor of God in our seeming misfortunes--You are most fortunate to be able to roll with the punches & come up laughing--Thanks for sharing your winning attitude in this lighthearted verse,
