Hope is Faiths sidekick

I go through my day and it seems I am being punished for something I did not do.

The feeling when you are a child and you get in trouble…but you didn’t do it.

I feel that way all day.

I plod through

I clean rooms piled high with the trappings from our vacation mingled with signs of changing seasons.

Our laundry room a mix of muddy boots and sandy beach towels.

I hope for more but Hope is Faith’s pitiful little side kick.

Faith stands strong.

Hope is a weak glimmer….. what you have before Faith comes in.

A hope to get us all to the end of this day and to start anew tomorrow

then I hear it…

a little girl melting down in the dining room….and one  crying at the piano.

Both say they don’t know why.

A baby in my wake follows me like an angry immigrant.

I come down the stairs thinking how will I steer us all to the end of this day.

I hear it right there in my thoughts….

I.

The last step down changes the course of our day….

“only You be glorified…” I breathe out as both feet stand stable .

Each child being gently righted before  I go through the rooms.

I hear through sweaty little  sincere breaths ” I didn’t want to hurt your feelings momma…I just….

miss….dad.”

little shoulders sink.  I help her finish up her work and she goes out with the others.

Bursting out happy again.

The piano starts to sound less like it’s falling down a flight of stairs and more purposeful.

practice starting in hope ending in Faith assured

be glorified

the shift has begun

be glorified…only You.
