Hitting Reset...

After spending half an hour with an internet technician all is up and running again,

after, on Saturday evening I hit the reset button on the bottom of the router 

after thinking this would fix the wifi problems, 

not erase EVERYTHING including the internet connection...

and this is the least of my recent 'fumbles'😕

We could be crushed, defeated, lost; the cost of love is hard

A tidal wave of dark despair could roll through heart and soul

The way we ought to pray is oft pride and prejudice-marred

We could be tempted to believe untruths that take their toll

We could be ill-equipped to forgive others as we must

And we could/would hate the sting and smart of love’s chastening rod

And we would be a stumbling block; a mockery of trust

Without humble awareness of the daily grace of God

Yesterday, (not on purpose) I betrayed a family-member’s confidence

and they were very disappointed in me and I feel terrible!

This was on top of a few other failure-flavoured fumbles

that sit a-top the regular weight of worry love

that wears a mother/wife’s knees thin…

So what is this fumbler-stumbler to do?

…other than consider Love’s/God’s kind mercies,

His grace and patience,

None of which I deserve,

And carry on

 And be kind to one another, 

tenderhearted, forgiving one another, 

even as God in Christ forgave you.

Eph.4:32
