Ordinary day 20.4.20
Ordinary day
What a bore
Nothing exciting
And what's more,
Monday again..
Routine stuff
No time to waste
Jump on the bandwagon
Don't miss the rat race
Though it's definitely slower now..
Have had two cups of coffee
Bright smile in place
But I'm still feeling blah
Sluggish and slow
And let's face it grumpy....
Hmm, get to work
Crikey, these folks!
You can't be serious!!
Cant' put up with them !!
Anymore..
Wonder if Jesus had such days?
Did He squabble and fight?
With His siblings and cousins?
Or was He a model child?
Something to ponder.
Son of God and son of man
Did He understand HIs Father's plan?
At home in Nazareth
with Mary and Joseph
and the carpentry stuff?
When He was a teenager?
Did He rue his birth?
Endure jibes and sarcasm
Did he feel hurt?
hmm...I wonder.
Did He do His chores?
Did He bring in the water?
Did He wash His clothes?
Did He help His mum knead dough?
I guess so...
Down to earth folk
Surrounded Him
Common people's man
And did He shoo them off?
Never..
Did He say
I haven't slept enough?
Or I'm having
A bad hair day?
Guess not.....
So I shake myself
off the ennui
Look around
Finally
People in need
Just like me
Diverse
yet in unity
All of us...
My work just a cog in the wheel
Unglamorous totally unseen
Our names written in history
He sees and that is enough
For me.
High time
I get back to my work
Look beyond the names
On the request forms
Ordinary folk like you and me...
Young ones and old
And in between
And while they
are, in a sense, with me
I pray they'll meet with the God of Eternity.
His grace
Overflows
Like a never ending fountain
On and on it goes...
His saving grace for them and me.
