.... in the sewing of the seed
Joy. ..... hmmmphf. It goes missing in these days of focus on the elderly and their impending deaths. Tear covered faces whose lives lack former luster and purpose. We all try comforting, entertaining and restoring a sense of dignity and value, after those humbling needs for assistance with toileting and bathing. We all divert eyes from the soiled linens and jammies.... but, Lord, the falling of the seed into the earth as a wrinkled, trembling husk, that begs for life to be breathed into it for one more day..... what madness is this in Your plans? Returning, in full cognizance, to the dependency of a toddler or an infant....
Then there are the grieving spouses and family members whose awareness of the impending loss is peppered with the taxation of an already difficult schedule in modern times.
Unfold to me the joy in these days, Jesus. There seems only the joy of ministry to the needs, to the dependency, to the hope for warmth of transferred life to a flickering flame. All the smiles are tainted with hollow hungering. Lips uncluttered with You, seem futility.... but no one wants to talk about Heaven. That's all I think about, at my age, seemingly far from death. I only want to share You.... The house seems empty already.
Give way, Jesus.... make a road in the desert, make Yourself known. Amen.
