How much has changed? Nothing here. I still can get down, but I can’t get up. Actually I guess it is more difficult to get down – gracefully. 😀 I still fall with efficiency.

Ok, let me say first it was worth it! That being said because I know the Holy Spirit is watching and reading what I’m writing. I don’t claim his anointing on this, remembering that Paul even at one place said he was not claiming to have God’s word, but he was speaking his own words, I’m not saying I have the words of God! But I do think I must have given him a laugh for this day! Since reading Yolanda’s blog a couple days ago, on the joy of being flat out before the Lord (like a lizard drinking, she said), I have longed to be flat out before him, but I really hated the “I can’t get up” part. However, as I sat on my chair in the corner this morning looking at the floor, I contemplated putting into action a verse I read to Ashlyn yesterday “…in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings…” To be under his wings would surely entail being down as low as I could go. “Well,” I reasoned, “if I pay close attention to how I get down, I can just reverse the procedure when I need to get back up.” Besides, I thought the Lord would help me in an extra measure since I would be going out on a limb (make flat on a floor) to demonstrate my desire for a new spark in my devotions this morning. It was good. I reached for my kindle, put on “Under His Wings,” by three different coral groups. As I said, it was good. Time to get up, remember -just reverse the procedure. I pushed with elbows, tried to get on one knee, remembered that gravity pulling my weight was very helpful in getting down but not at all in getting up, finally groped around enough to reach my cane to support my rising again, and discovered a brand new lesson. It takes muscle to get up! Was it worth it? Yes, but I’m sure going to try to learn how to flatten my soul even with a body that sits in the chair.

Wherever you have worshipped today, I hope you have sensed the presence of the Lord as he hovers over you as a mother hen hovers over her chicks.
Sweet aroma 
I have fallen and I CAN get up😀
Go, man, go. My husband can to and he is now ninety one. Take care.
Wow, ninety one. Inspired. Thanks.
His genes are good for long life and he flawlessly exhibits good exercise and eating habits. Beyond what I like but good for his health.
Good eating habits I can live with. I do walk a lot but exercise? Why torture the body? We have only one of those.😀
True.
This is a beautiful post. Beautiful song ! Keep travelling triumphantly with HIM. Bessings!
He promise is for abundance; that triumphant for sure.
I have mobility issues but have been thinking of getting prostrate to pray; your post is an encouragement to try it out. God bless you sister.
The Lord loves us to talk to him. Any position okay with him. But I do like to put a bit of “friendship” with my worship. I think he like it; I know I do.
Praise the Lord! Thank you for your encouragement sister, may God bless you richly.
😀
What a fun look back!
Comments like this make me go back and read again. It was funny, wasn’t it? I really do believe the Lord has a sense of humor. I hope He laughed.
