(This was a prayer/thought I had Saturday morning before we heard the results of our recent presidential election.)
Are you counting?
Like the votes are being counted
One by one, day after day?
Are you counting
My every thought
Every move
Every deed
Weighing on scales?
No, not counting
Loving
Pouring it out
Day after day
The love that covers
Every mistake
Wayward thought
Angry word
Unkind action
Hateful look
The self-pity
Self focus
The pride
All of it
Again and again
Until it is covered
Until I learn mercy
And do the same
