Just for me

TA 2016

I often think about the plan
What does God intend me to be?
For years I cursed about my chair
Why is it, I cried, Why am I here?

Recently, returned to church, the answer came
My return to the program gave me the answer
Clearly it came almost like lightning
Profound the words of my wife, enlightening

We drove together on a Sunday afternoon
She told me what she had realized, God's plan for us
I was amazed, this was interesting stuff
As she drove the story continued

For us the picture was clear we were meant to be here
Things that happened at a Lightning pace
Things that have crawled and given us pain
The day after we started back to church Full life arrived

I thought that evening as I fell off to sleep
That was encouraging, somewhat frightening, but oh so deep
Now I know go and complete that I, This person
I was meant to be here, Where I am

My life at been turmoil, my anger complete
I had been stricken, from my head to my feet
I walked no more, that's all I can see
But at that moment I realized there was a plan, just for me

God helped us build our new home
Perfect, warm, different, clear
This time and this place, I was meant to be here
Away now had gone my anger, My fear

All the dang need, people and things, are comfortably near
The life that I had hated, cursed, and jeered
Suddenly happy, placid, true joy, I was here
Guided a plan, Just for me, loud and clear

Thank you my Lord God
I was stricken with multiple sclerosis in 2002. I have been wheelchair-bound since 2006. I have learned that it is not God's fault, That God did not do this to me and that God is blameless. I have learned that I am serving my time in purgatory with two wheels on my backside LOL
