YES! Christmas the Crab has re-emerged from well over a month of hiding underneath the surface under his hut – seems like FOREVER, but he emerged today!!!

A Poem of Patience:

Let’s take a stab,

At being patient like this crab.

.

Let’s not get riled,

When “our way” seems defiled.

Let’s look only one day, one step ahead.

Do not consider life as a long journey to dread.

.

Life really is a GREAT BIG STROLL,

In a HUGE earthly bowl.

So you BEST start,

With guarding your heart.

.

Or like the crab,

Simply take a stab,

Live life one day at a time,

Don’t overthink reasons or rhyme. 

.

“Live and let live” is fine.

But “Live and HELP Live” is DIVINE.

We all are traveling thru life,

Be kind and minimize all strife.

.

Shake off the small stuff,

Ignore time-wasting fluff.

Live life as if sour is sweet,

Live life with an servant attitude that won’t be beat.

.

Remember this little crab,

Life steps, he ALWAYS takes a stab.

Molted and rested, in safe space,

NEW LIFE he is NOW ready to EMBRACE. 

.

So take a step out today,

Live life in a crab (but not crabby) way.

.

Patiently DON’T worry, just PRAY.

Walk with the Lord every step of the Way. 

TODAY, like a crab, embrace TODAY.

Rest, emerge, and have a GOOD DAY.

.

Amen

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Paul to the Philippians 4:6-7
