Proverbs 13:12 - Hope deferred makes the heart sick…
Tick... The lawn needs mowing
Tock... The car needs an oil change
Tick... There are ants on the carpet
Tock... There is rot in the deck
Tick... The porch is sagging
Tock... The roof is 20 years old
Tick... The windows are open and it might rain
Tock... The bills are due
Tick... There won’t be enough
Tock... I weigh too much
Tick... I’m tired
Tock... death
Talk? The lawn needed mowing
Listen? The car needed attention
Care? There were ants in the carpet
Accept? There was rot in the deck
Share? The porch was sagging
Grow? The roof needed attention
Respect? There was a chance of rain
Live? The bills were due
Love? I was afraid there wouldn’t be enough
Trust? I was unhappy with myself
Give? I was tired
Hope? died

Bill, wow.
Also, I'm in the same boats as Janet and Phil...with the exception of having a daughter to send it to. POWERFUL!
There is a lot to mentally chew on in this post. Bill, thanks for sharing it with us. It does get rough walking around in these earthsuits sometimes. Your post made me think...
Have a cup o'joy,
Lynne
