Does God Love the Crumbs….?

Because I am such a poor writer, I am hesitant to blog about anything�especially if it is a significant event in my life. I just sit there locked up, trying to type a sentence. But I thought you might try the following recipe and see what you think…

Start with 16 hour work days five days a week�simmer for one month or more

Then add:

• a sick child (gurgled when she breathed and just didn’t think to cough it up…)
• a sick (and pregnant) wife�(strain out sleep for her and yourself before adding)
• a sister-in-law and her dog (mix dog with 2 peeved house cats before adding)
• a detox/low-carb diet phase
• intermittent and intense bouts of exercise.

Simmer this mixture for a month stirring occasionally with intense worry.

Just before serving,

• Season with a timely rebuke from a good, well aged friend.
• Add a new puppy dog (abused and not house broken mind you).

And for that extra “BAM”â€â€?add a crazed stray cat protecting it young (mix with new puppy dog).
It is important to NEVER remove this soup from the heat…even while serving

For a unique dish… add your character…

For me this recipe gave me one of the most rotten days of my life. “A day that will live in infamy…” This day (yes another one) has exposed my lack of fortitude. Last night I lost composure. I verbally lashed out at my wife (yes the sick pregnant one…yes I only have one wife…and yes because she is an exceptional wife I still have a wife). Today she spent the entire day trying to make it all better… sacrificing her time and plans to appease an ogre of a husband.

Looking back on the last month or so, I think make melt-down it is understandable… but definitely NOT acceptable… My Jesus wants me to cast my cares on Him, because He cares for me… to focus on living with Him… I failed to acknowledge my weakness quickly and I have turned into Mr. Hyde.

I am a crumb. May God restore me, and may He be glorified.
