A Shot of Espresso
Perfect in my eyes
The two doors you need
Walking on water
The waiting room
The last nerve
(Dis)abilities
The cure for shame
Running each other in
The green tomato
by Rhonda Schrock
As so often happens, it was my sons who taught me this important truth.
In times of transition, this is how I pray. "Give us two open doors..."
To be a water walker, you'll have to step out of comfort and into courage.
There's so much good that happens in the waiting rooms of life. Thankfully, we are not there forever.
When you've got one nerve left and the kids are standing on it with cleats, here's a rope to hold.
Our disabilities alone can never make us losers. Other abilities can make us winners.
The voice of shame is loud and insistent, but we don't have to live with it forever.
Just like a big brother did for The Cub, we're here to run each other in.
Funny, what that hard green tomato taught me. Gardens, like hearts, can't be rushed.
You won't have to go out of your way to find them. Often, they appear right in front of you, just like they did for my son in a high-school cafeteria.
