Lilies of the Field


Just like the lilies of the field
I have no cares nor worries
Just work and don't really feel
Except sleepy, thirsty and hungry

Just like the lilies of the field
I don't feel sad nor happy
Just live daily with strength renewed
Trusting God with spirit free

Just like the lilies of the field
God will take care of me
Much more than the lilies of the field
For He loves me, even me.

Nice poem.

The real question is, "Are you contented?"

For most of my life I have been contented - no soaring highs, no crashing lows. Just an even level of well being. Sure, there were always things I wanted or could have been better, but on the whole, there was nothing to get overly agitated over.

That changed a few years ago, when I went for a stormy ride, but the seas seem to be calming and my journey seems to be more even. I remember a period after my despondency when I was not down, but had a curious sense of numbness. I knew the storm had passed, but I was too numb to feel anything. Fortunately, feeling has been slowly returning - at the beginning of this year I even felt optimistic about the coming year. Sure, we are in August and sure my situation is still pretty much as it was, but . I still feel the twinges of motivation, of striving. I just don't know how to break through and follow them (perhaps they are only temptation) because I must balance them against my responsibilities toward my family - especially Jason and his education and eczema (the creams are very, very expensive and my health plan covers them - instead of paying $80 for a tube of cream, I pay $2)

Ask a plant that same question and you will have the same answer. :P
