Bowl of Cherries

Life is a bowl of cherries!

Psalm 68:11
        Sometimes we need to contend for the cherries!  I got the rake to pull down the tree branches.  I hauled out the ladder and climbed up, reaching as far as I could stretch, to find the beautiful cherries over run with ants!  Fighting the crawling critters, I tossed the cherries in a deep bowl, immediately filling it with water overflowing, washing away the enemies.  Careful to only save the flawless ones, I finally have a bowl of cherries.
        The war for the cherries increases my appreciation, making them taste sweeter,
        You are a valiant warrior!  Determined, faithful and courageous you are!
        May your eyes focus on the spoils of war.  Glory in your life’s cherries! 

p.s. I left the bowl of cherries in the kitchen for a moment.  My daughter, Gwenn, wandered out of bed, into the kitchen and helped herself to the overflowing bowl.  I feel to add a cautious word.


        Guard your bowl!  Don’t let anyone steal your cherries!
