Have I loved well today?
The unexpected guest who shows up
When my house is a mess?
The beloved spouse or irritating boss
Who gives me a list of extra things to do
When I am already overwhelmed?
The child who just does not
Seem to understand the meaning
Of the word “No”?
What about the media inflated or created
Unseen enemies?
Have I loved them well?
Prayed for God’s mercy and love to shower them?
Have I loved well today?
Those who don’t get me
Misunderstand me
Judge me
Think I am wasting my time?
What about those who snub me
Forget me
Don’t find me important enough
For their time of day?
It’s really all that He has asked me to do.
His one last dying request
Some days are better than others.
I have to confess
I have not loved well today
Lord have mercy
He does
He always does.
