Poetic Bloomings Prompt--line from a favorite poet

Let him be rich and weary, that at least,/ If goodness lead him not, yet weariness/ May toss him to my breast. George Herbert—The Pulley

Rich and Weary

Life is a mixed bag,
a weaving,
a tossed salad of good and bad.
So many blessings!
Miraculous bodies,
Beautiful creation to explore,
Friends and family,
Technological wonders!
And yet, life can be so miserable,
full of pain and trouble.
In the good times, let’s run to Him
and give Him praise and thanksgiving,
so when it’s time to seek Him
for His help, peace and comfort,
we will know the way
and be familiar with His voice.
