A Timmy Haiku

If you are interested, I loved Kathie's haiku that she made for Timster, as well as her great post about how it came about. Enjoy!

Path Assailed, by Lara Elfstrand

I remember the cold, white tile of the emergency room.

"Be not dismayed whate’er betide,
God will take care of you"

Our son's feeding tube was clogged - again.

"Beneath His wings of love abide,
God will take care of you."

He was over-tired and getting dehydrated.

"God will take care of you,
Through every day, o’er all the way;
He will ... care [for] you,
God will take care of you."

An infection caught from the other people in the emergency room could cause him to have an energy crisis and leave this world behind him.

"Through days of toil when heart doth fail,
God will take care of you"

Even if we don't feel His presence, He is here with us.

"When dangers fierce your path assail,
God will take care of you."

In dehydration, feeding tube procedures, and energy crises, our God is still present, loving and caring for His children.

"God will take care of you,
Through every day, o’er all the way;
He will ... care [for] you,
God will take care of you."
