A Life Poured Out
“Lord, I am running around,
trying to cook and clean,
to raise my kids and still do everything…
– can’t you ask Mary to come and help me?”
“My child, just come and sit at My feet…”
“I can’t Lord.
The moment I become quiet,
the moment I stop and take a seat,
– I’m afraid I’ll start to weep…”
“My daughter, don’t you know,
that your tears wash My feet? …”
“But Lord, all I do is wash dishes,
pick up laundry and sort out fights.
– I wish my life could mean more
– than just closing cupboard doors…”
“My daughter, what you see
as wasted time,
that could have served the poor,
– I see as precious perfume,
poured upon My feet…
Your Life – Poured out,
your Tears and Doubt,
has shown your
Love for Me…”
