The Heart That Ponders # 19 . . .More Questions . . . 12/20/08

Dear Holy Friends,
 
    I do apologize for getting my numbers off a bit this week. My mother had a cataract surgery and repair of a detached retina and macula surgery this week. It kinda got me behind on many things, including Just For Today.
    I sat here early this morning thinking of Mary and Joseph's journey and my mind filled with many questions.
 
In His Grip, Chandra
 
 
More Questions
 
Was the family there to see you off
    did worry line their faces?
Did you travel alone or in a group
    through lonely, dangerous places?
How could you bear the bumps and thumps
    riding on that donkey's back?
What did the two of you talk about
    long hours walking on your trek?
When the pains began did you tell Joseph
    or keep quiet for a while?
Did the Spirit offer comfort from your distress
    as you rode those weary miles?
Was your fear of the delivery big
    but your faith in  Yahweh great?
When Joseph realized you were in pain
    did he ask Yahweh to make it wait?
Did you ever look to heaven and wonder
    why God chose the two of you?
Was there a moment you wanted to give up
    life became too big for you?
And, in the evenings when you settled to rest
    and Joseph protected his own,
did the two of you find comfort knowing
    Yahweh would never leave you alone?
