Ideal

Ideal : exactly right for a particular purpose, person or situation

My thoughts are torn lately

It's not just on one issue, but on many

My heart is torn as well

The if this...maybe that of it all

So many things not right

Not right for their purpose

Not right for a person

Not right for the situation

So, what shall I choose in the midst of the not ideal? 

When we all fall short

There is so much broken down and beat up

Pulling at souls starts to pull at your soul

Thankfulness

My response shall be thankfulness

Thankful for the broken down and beaten up

And for where Christ holds us through it all

Thankful for His love, protection, mercy, and grace

Though none if this may be ideal, it is all part of God's love poured out

His mercy upheld

Protection where we aren't even aware we need it

And His grace, His wonderful...full grace

Thank you lord for the not-so-ideal 

Thankful for you Lord.....
