All Together Somehow

 

Inspired with amusement by all our differences,

to keep life and love interesting!😍

Midst mess and mayhem

love and life unfold

in the clutter and clatter

of growing old-er

I'm de-cluttering (and spring-ifying) today after the weekend...

(don't you oh, so dearly love everyone

who adds a bit of clutter and clatter to your life?!!)

Flash-back to some Tuesday echoes 💗

Differing perspectives and personalities can make for some lively discussion sometimes...

(so kiddos leave to get lost in books while adults linger at the table)

...but let's never let it get in the way of love!

Ahoy! An envoy of eclectic attitudes embarks

From east to west on quests wrestling life's exclamation marks

Some ho-hum-hum and dum-de-dum, for they are more laid back

Than others who resemble predators poised for attack

Yet all together somehow while we fight with right and wrong

We are commanded to learn how to love and get along

Aha! The law of love runs through a pothole-riddled road

Some (seem to) dodge them all, some wheels fall off, some stumble ‘neath life’s load

But oh, we should remember we are all broken while bound

Toward That, which makes us all fellowmen on common ground

Where altogether somehow in this grin and groaning grind

We are commanded to encourage one another and be kind

Ho-ho! The ebb and flow of dawn to dusk is like a barge

That edges ever closer to where trav’lers disembark

Where now we are still tethered in an all-together Here

Before the ways we weather with one breath will disappear

So, then let’s all together somehow, by God’s grace each day we live

Obey His great command to love each other and forgive

Sunday night supper at gramma's house

always includes *'tea' in a cup from the colourful mug-tower!

(oh, the race to get first dibs on a colour!)

this little tradition always ends up soon involving a mop

 as L'il Lady and Gentleman are still learning the art of sipping without spilling😋

* a splash of tea topped with  much milk and a drizzle of honey
