It is the first days of our return
to rural Canada
a mix of jet lag, laughter
hugs, tears, confusion
and lack of words
yesterday our prodigal suitcases
six large bags, all we could carry
made their way home
exhausted as we unpacked
we rejoiced that nothing was lost
today we opened
the few boxes we had left here
what joy to be reunited
with familiar treasures
a quilt, jewellery box
baking pans
it is little things that lift us
and little things that trip us
and there is One standing strong
calm, all knowing
in the middle of it all
I am returning
to His feet
For me I liked the fact that there were warmer clothes in those boxes!!!!
