Praise The Lord
With awkward beauty
With good intentions
With well-meant gestures
Praise The Lord
With technical difficulties
With endless set-up
With incorrect hymn boards
Praise The Lord
With stiff hands
With tear-filled eyes
With worried mind
Praise The Lord
With open heart
With smiling face
With hopeful spirit
Praise The Lord!

After a prompt from Writing to God, by the wonderful Rachel Hackenberg.
I admit that I am several days behind in the book. The prompt for Day 10 took me in this direction when I read these particular verses and conflated them with a dream about a worship service, beautifully envisioned but awkwardly executed — a glimpse at the heavenly banquet complete with showered rose petals, but a long delay before Communion to reset the stage including the hymn boards — and woke to stiff hands reminding me of my own technical difficulties as I seek how I will serve God next.
Psalm 147:10-11 God doesn’t prize the strength of a horse; God doesn’t treasure the legs of a runner. No. The Lord treasures the people who honor him, the people who wait for his faithful love.
