Spoons….

 Spoons….

We used to play a game, Spoons…highly competitive, highly noisy, highly dangerous if playing with highly motivated competitors….the spoons couldn’t be plastic or they were destroyed…needed good solid metal spoons…

What fun it was…

There is another spoons game which was a bit more delicate….balancing an egg in the spoon cup, running\walking as fast as you can to the goal line…without dropping the egg…

A friend shared yet another “spoons” event…using spoons to tell others how they are feeling, coping with day to day events, illness, etc…a person displaying one spoon is basically saying “my energy is way down “ as opposed to the one with 10 spoons, whose day is great with lots of energy…a measure of how one is doing day to day…even hour by hour….

Working on just my first week of chemotherapy, I wasn’t up to the first game of spoons nor, even the second, more delicate balancing act…part of the time I was a 10 spoon day and other times , a negative spoon night…wow…it can change fast…

I am so glad Jesus knows my spoon amounts… He is there in the little and the much…he knows my strength, waning or not….comforting in all…calming, peacemaking….

Thank YOU….

 O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 

You know when I sit down and when I rise up;

you discern my thoughts from afar. 

You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 

If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you;

the night is bright as the day,for darkness is as light with you.

Ps.139.1-3,Ps.139.11-12

The praise is Yours…
