Psalm 139

Lord, you know everything about me:

when I sit or stand

my every thought.

You tell me where to stop and rest

and know every word I’m going to say.

I can never be lost to your spirit.

If I ride the morning wind to the farthest oceans,

your hand will guide me.

Darkness and light are the same to you.

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit them together in my mother’s womb.

You scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe.

Many times a day, your thoughts turn to me.

Know my heart; find in me what makes you sad, and lead me out.

Sibling Rivalry

The four year old likes to collect wild flowers and poses with her 2 year old brother.
Note the posture as she pushes him against the wall, arm around him and the flowers.
He literally “looks up” at her. And smiles a pained grin of submission, head cast back in adoration/resentment. How can he compete at half her size? Later he will be taller, shoulders wider and wise in the knowledge that power resides not in size but in spirit. By then, we’ll see not leader and minion, but 2 warriors side by side.

A glorious place!
