Just For Today . . . Chronic . . 2/12/09

Dear Holy Friends,
    There are some words in our life that we know what they mean by simply saying them. And I am not referring to onomatopoeias. I mean when you hear sunshine, don't you just about feel the rays of sun shining on your face? Well, yesterday I was at my doctor for yet another treatment of my chronic rib pain. It has a name, intercostal neuralgia. But after six years of it I am weary of it, yet I do not know if I remember what it is like to have that rib feel normal. Chronic sounds like it means, I think. And the only way through is to rely on Him.
 
In His Grip, Chandra
 
Chronic pain, never gone
no matter what you do
treat it, maybe numb it
but pain finds its way through
tiring, frustrating, weary
you don't not talk about it
learn to live like all is well
people forget you have it
days go by you find your way
what is it to be pain free
you wish for an hour
the pain you wouldn't feel
where do you go right then
who understands your pain
is there anyone to help
when normal isn't the same
God is with you always
from the moment this began
He will stay with you
when it's hard to understand
He knows your weary moments
the silent tears you cry
and wants you to be sure
on Him you can rely
