some days
I seem to be a sponge
sadly not the sea-born sort
that rests now on my bathtub rim
there to scrub my skin with suds
then lie still again
I’m not even the kind
dually designed
with sides to scrub and wipe
to wash the dishes and clean the counters
and earn its sleep each night
I feel like the faded one
used to clean everything else
wrung to weightless dryness
one
more
squeeze
and I will fall apart
one
last
swipe
and I will fade away
As of late this has been me. Thank God He waits patiently while I wallow in it 🙂 and waits for me to realize the truth. That we are all magnificently made by Him for a reason. 🙂 I pray your weekend is full of blessings 🙂

Thanks so much! We are having a great weekend. Just sometimes, I have the rare day when being homeschool teacher, wife, mom, and writer leaves me feeling…wrung out!

It is more than a full time job and understandable. But thankfully you have a tremendous faith in our Almighty LORD. 🙂

I hope you are feeling less wrung out. You and Dad are the hardest working sponges I know.
