Seasons Change

 

This morning as I was driving after taking the kids to school

I noticed

Look closely or you may miss it

It begins at the top, ever so slightly, beginning to fade

At first glance, things appear stable

But I am watchful.

I know that soon the metamorphosis will occur

There will come a time when it will seem

to have been overnight to the incognizant

But, I will know that it began much sooner

slowly, little by little, branch by branch

And they will fall to the ground and scatter.

I admit

these first signs cause me to be a bit apprehensive

I've been here before

I know what is looming,

I am not yet prepared.

I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop.
