Perhaps I’ll get it done

My hubby likes to give me a hard time (not in a bad way) about how Five Minute Friday in this household often becomes Five Minute Sunday.  🙂  I told him “Perhaps” I’ll get it done on Friday!   And well, funnily enough, here it is Five Minute Sunday again…. He laughed, I laughed, and you know, life is good.  

Perhaps I’ll Get It Done

Perhaps I’ll get it done
this Friday, or the next day
could it be Saturday, or
pretty sure Sunday comes.
Sunday being a
quiet day to rest and relax
and take in some poetry while
chatting with hubby, it’s the way
the week runs you know? 🙂

Mayhap, a word much like perhaps,
is one I often use. Taking it’s origins
from “may” (as in maybe) and
“hap” (as in to happen). It’s got an
old-time flair and oft appeals to me.

Perhaps I’ll get it done,
those chores that await,
the bathrooms, the kitchen floor,
and the dishes a daily thing,
go figure that people gotta eat!
Then the bunnies, and the cats,
and the garden can’t be beat!

Mayhap, just perhaps,
time will stop a moment or two
helping me to get through
my position away from home, and
my working it out at home. Making
moments between moments to get it
all done. It goes along well.

Though sometimes, all those,
perhaps I’ll get it done… ,
Moments wear on a body a bit
and something breaks, just a
spell, and time away is needful.
Then suddenly vacation plans, chatty hubby,
and bunny hugs make the world better again.

And just perhaps
spending some needful time
with the one who created me. 
The one who created all that is around me,
the one who reminds me that
rest is a needful thing as well. 🙂

God Speaks

Exodus 20:8-11

⁸ Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

⁹ Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

¹⁰ But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

¹¹ For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Matthew 11:28-30

 ²⁸ Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
