How Do I React

 



A day can begin as a typical day

All the duckies in a row

Then bump! Something interrupts plans

How do I react?

“Oh – okay. We’ll do that another day.”

 

Carry forward – readjusting the planned day

New duckies in a row

Then Bam! Someone is in need at a hospital

How do I react?

“I will pray and hold you in my heart.”

 

When situations come

‘Suddenlies’ we will say

That isn’t what we were planning

Notice how you react

 

‘Why’ is a question we all ask

Is it essential to know

Rather – maybe – we should have compassion

Stopping what we are doing and be still

 

Stillness and just being before Father

Settles any emotions that may be astray

Seeing situations objectively

Without emotions getting in the way

 

Compassion comes with care and understanding

Mercy and kindness, along with sensitivity

We suffer together alongside another


Wanting to relieve the pain – but leaving that to God

 

Most importantly – How Do I React?

Be aware of your reactions

Keep in check with Father

Being still knowing He is God

 

Staying connected with Father

I am with others in the Merkabah

Here clarity comes

I can stay here and be at peace
