MY MEDITATION FOR December 17, 2021
The weather is tolerable.  
The wind has settled
The lake still roars
Beauty can be found in the sky
A light snow is precipitous
Mr. Sun highlights the few flakes
What will I highlight this day?
I will offer all of my discomfort to the Lord
And try to be at peace as I take my steps wisely
If it be His will, I will laugh, think and cry
I will have lived this day

AGGRAVATION

Aggravation is what we sometimes feel

When things don’t go our way

It is a natural feeling, especially

When you clearly saw the path

Then that path was put on delay

We see those set in their ways

Are not open to new ideas

Would rather argue and fight

Egos and control, if you please

It is such a waste of time and

The cost is nothing to sneeze at

Winners and losers, happy and sad

When really we should all be glad

Because we came together and

Instead of a fight, a victory

Peacefulness, a new strategy, to

Make our place the best it can be

Not too much to ask or to do

Learning ourselves, then teaching others

Good people have shown the way

There is sadness when there is loss

But we pick up the pieces and continue

We show our strength; our morality

Look for new days, done so naturally

Then apply simple philosophy, that

Brave people have given to us

Live each day with a grateful heart

Laugh every day, so good for the soul

Think each day; thought is necessary

Cry every day; it settles the heart

One life, one day, one moment

Precious gifts not to be wasted
