The Weight of The World

The Weight of The World

The weight of the world, what a funny thing.

It weighs you down, it is so crushing.

You love so deeply that you can't say No,

So others depend on you to show.

Some days it's too much, hard to get out of bed, 

but you get yourself up and off you tread.

You do so much, while they expect more,

they just can't see how overwhelmed you are.

Pulled in five directions, not knowing which to choose, 

Trying to please them all, not one you'd stand to lose.

Forgetting to care for yourself, as so many of us do.

Neglecting our own needs, often feeling blue.

Blink away the tears, smile that smile,

you know they all love you, you just need a little while.

Take and push the pause and learn what's true,

People that really love you will, it's not in what you do.

So slow it way down, take a breather or two

carrying the weight of the world is not for you to do.

Lift up your head and breath in deep,

put your burdens down, place them at his feet.

You were made with purpose, not to live high speed,

take it all in stride, take the time you need.

Your shoulders are not big enough to carry them all,

The weight of the world is one heavy ball.


Be Blessed,

The Happy Farmwife

  "JUST DO IT" A well known athletic brand has the catch phrase, "JUST DO IT".  They have used that phrase for so many years that most can't hear it without picturing their logo, the Nike Swish.   Last night as I was laying in bed, I kept thinking of this phrase......"JUST DO IT" and as I thought about it I thought about the many times I didn't "Just do it" out of fear of failure, or sometimes just plain old fear of the unknown. I have always had a love for Literature, Poetry, Quotes.  The Library was my favorite place in the world when I was a kid, I loved Library day at school.  The smell of books, ahhhhhhh!  A visit to the Library was always on the calendar each week as I was raising my children.  My Love of Books and written word started way back when I was a small child and I still love them today. I can still remember Book covers (not necessarily all the Titles) of books I checked out from my elementary school Library.  Mrs. Lenberg

Thinking out Loud

  I am finding a new Table....God is preparing it for me! It is the end of the year once again, time to get things in order. I like organization, but the one place that gets unorganized the most is my office space.  I make little notes of things I wonder about, or Bible verses to look up or to look closer at and at the end of the year I see half started lists of things.  I wonder why I start these things, that appear to be very beneficial, but somewhere along the line I stop making time for them. It is actually funny what I learn about myself and what I must have been thinking at different times throughout the year when I find these little treasures. I found a note that said "I am not broken, I do not need fixed." Another that said, "Stop trying to please people, just keep pleasing God." That last one though, hmmm, we all fall short sometimes don't we. Being human isn't so fun when you think about it. We are not perfect, we make mistakes.  But we also have t

HMMMMM!

Things that cross my mind. Why do we wish for time to ourselves, but then when we get it, we feel lost? Why do people treat others mean, but then want to follow them on social media? Why do people that never took the time to actually know others, gossip about others? Why does the world make us all feel like we need fixed in some way? Why do we go to college to learn from a person that only knows what they do from reading books? Who wrote the books and where did their knowledge come from? Why do we believe what others say, when everything in life is based on someones opinion? Why do we trust what a doctor says, but question our car mechanic? Aren't they both guessing at diagnosing a problem by looking at symptoms? Who educated the first educator? Why do we have laws that don't support the original laws, the ten commandments? Why do so many Christians judge others when the Bible says there is only one judge? What would the world be like if we all just thought the same of everyone
