on losing and finding


this is my living room lately....:)



on the wal-mart floor -
a roll-back price tag, $2.62
a teenage mutant ninja turtle, donatello
one dead stink bug, on its back
a package of men's boxers, hanes
just dirt
a battery, aaa
a regular price tag, $9.99
but
not my missing earring

in my living room -
young love, a joy-giver
ruthkatecharlie puzzling and building
with hankandjack
time, a friend now, slowing and allowing us
to find what's been missing -
together

in the word -
a promise, fulfilled, found
in 
tiny
baby
i will be their God,
and they will be my people
amen

what are you finding this holiday season?

  1. Things lost. Things found. Sometimes the joy is greatest when life goes in that order....

  3. Nice!

    What am I finding? Resolve.

    In the face of some uncompromising personal issues (such as terminal illness), the message is being reinforced:

    Duty is all.
