Talk
tears
fears
spilling out
my soul shouts
with offense
and yet received with no defense
my sweet love
listens
we spell it out
sheet by sheet
bill by bill
and with no ill will
find
that we have post bills, post gas, post food
only a little of money to use
$100 each week
for tp, detergent and other things
my heart drops
when will this stop
I just want a cup of coffee
we finish up and pray
and walk away from the sheets and numbers
to talk with a friend
I tell her what I've learned and you know what she said?
"Thats good!"
//
Today that phrase has been floating in my head
here I was thinking we were near to dead
with no excess, no funds for recess
but really
we can pay our bills
we can eat
and we have a little on the side
who knew
that God, our provider, would give us just enough
and yet all of His love
and so in our excess may we live wisely
to pay off our debts
to live simply
and to give as best we can
and remember that we are greatly
greatly blessed.

"The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing."
Psalm 23:1
