September 11
Today, maybe I’m the only one celebrating
Maybe I’m the only one who walks In the Glory of God’s miracle
Today, I remember people who lost their lives because terrorist
Today, I remember those who fought so others did not die
Today, I remember the day the people of the United States went silent
I remember them today
But also I remember my doctor’s call
Telling me to rush to the emergency room
More test ordered
Doctors said to live a long life
Major surgery needed
Never left a hospital for 5 days
Surgery on day 3
Emerging on day 5
Experiencing literal football game on day 7
No headers and no feet hitting balls
Wonderful hugs and expressions of love
Leisurely living for 7 weeks
Why ain’t you driving at 4
Staples be gone at 2
Beautified at 1 or rather 8 days
Re-entry, leaving leisure, at 7 on the dot
After cocooning
in the midst of God’s Joy
sitting at His feet daily
watching His majesty
learning
how to inhabit His Joy
how to live within His Joy
how to be within His Joy
how to be His Joy
how to live
as a walking miracle
surrendering what was within
walking in God’s presence
filling me with
His Peace
His JOY
Forever, wherever I am
Celebrating
