I was flicking through one of my journals recently and found these two 'thinks'. They were from totally different days and yet touch on some similar, if a little heavy, themes. I guess I've been thinking about the layers and rub of perseverance lately. #1 Can God redeem the stained things? The hasty mistakes second chances inadequate attempts.
Can God prune the wild branches and tame those tumbled things to be a tree by living water growing ever stronger, up? Of course, the answer is yes. But this, here, now is the waiting land. #2 The chew of life. Sometimes life tastes like the chip made from the rotten spud (only you didn’t notice until you popped it innocently in your mouth). You chew and swallow and even though the foul flavour spreads you can’t spit it out, it's not polite. You just persevere and wonder if perhaps it was just a mistake and maybe tomorrow (or the next chip) will taste the way it should. © Penny Reeve 2023

The Penny DropsIn high school I used to write what I'd call 'thinks' - little bits of writing about whatever topic or issue I was mulling over at the time. I still write these little pieces. Categories
