Five-Minute Friday: Tired

I have been MIA when it comes to blogging and am glad to get back to it today.  Thanks to Lisa-Jo at The Gypsy Mama for putting that prompt out there every Friday!


    1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking. 2. Link back here and invite others to join in. 3. Most importantly: leave a comment for the person who linked up before you – encouraging them in their writing!


Tired

Go:

Wow, so much in one little word.  Tired.

A mother of pre-schoolers constant companion.

A bad night's sleep.

Not knowing what's coming after the next 7 months.

Looking around at a messy house.

or

Children making the long trek to school, in the heat, dust, fumes of vehicles.

Parents looking for work, any work, to eke out an existence for their families.

A woman washing clothes with the modern convenience of a river.
.
A grandmother awaiting the sentencing of her son for over a year.

A lady having chemotherapy and wondering if it will ever end.

A mother in the rehabilitation center wanting her body to work again.


Stop.

Isaiah 40:30-31
30Even youths shall faint and be weary,
   and young men shall fall exhausted;
31but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
   they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
   they shall walk and not faint.
  
Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 

Thessalonians 3:13
As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.
