“Over-easy, Lord. That is how I’d like my eggs this morning…”
Anybody else?
I’m afraid I’ve little words of importance for you this A.M. except to say that a night’s worth of worry has cost me. Indeed, it didn’t add any hours to my life; instead the worry that kept me awake and that has my stomach in knots this morning has extracted from my life. I can’t have back the previous eight hours. All I can do now is surrender them to a life lived “less” than what my Father had intended.
And then I move on. Move on with a better perspective about the hours that lie in front of me.
God’s burdens, his worries and concerns over his creation?
Easy, light, well within his capacity to deal with them… all of them. So taking his cue, I’m laying them down in his lap, and I’m pressing forward. I give him my “well-done” portion of worry that’s been simmering in the pan overnight in exchange for a plate that’s filled with over-easy. I cannot afford another eight hours like the previous ones. How about you? Could you use some over-easy this morning… this day?
Then join me at the table of grace and give thanks to God for his expertise in the kitchen. I understand that eggs are his specialty.
I love and appreciate you, each one. Your investment in my life makes me want to be a better writer, thinker, friend, pursuer of Peace, and sojourner on the road of grace. May you find them both, Peace and grace as you walk your life these next eight hours. As always…
peace for the journey,
