how does it feel?

how does it feel

to spend many hours

riding in a car

arriving home at bedtime

the world is dark

walk through the garage door

drag in stuff from the car

and begin the process...

dirty goes where it goes

trash gets the heave ho

charge electronics

and make your way to the shower

then like magic

turning the corner

i flip on the front porch light

seeing through the glass

bright colors peeking through the window

i open the door 

and

SURPRISE!

just look!

the ordinary 

tiring

drudgery

changed

this unexpected kindness

this beautiful offering

this caring

God's lovliness

i am humbled

to be remembered

i won't forget

and that's how it feels
