Okay, so it’s like 10 p.m. I’ve had a long day and tomorrow might be busy too! 🙂 I didn’t want to wait until Sunday to suss out an appropriate response to Kate’s word prompt Outcome. I got to thinking how funny it was at work today when I rearranged the pickle section at work. I maintained the same spacing for everything, and yet I ended up with 3/4’s of an empty shelf. It made no sense! My manager (not feeling well today) came walking by and asked how I was doing. I said “I’m done and I’m so confused. Why do I have empty space?” She double-checked everything and agreed it made no sense. What’s the outcome? The most favourite pickles got more shelf space. I’m still shaking my head over it….
What’s the Outcome?
What’s the outcome
I have to ask
What do you want to see,
as a result of this task?
Today I decided
pickles needed to move
I thought it was funny
helping them to groove.
All that moving
and shuffling about
Lots of empty space so
My manager used her clout!
This makes no sense
was her confused cry!
You moved them about,
This change makes me sigh!
It was decided that
despite exact spacing
We’d give the pickles
an increase in their spacing.
It’s made me think
at the end of long day
what other shuffling
needs to have sway?
Are there things in our lives
that aught not to be
things that God
might find unsightly?
Just like the pickles
that had to moved
Give God a chance
to help you find the right groove.
Give God a chance to help you find the right groove. Well said!
Hopping here from 5-Minute Friday.
Blessings to you and yours!

Thank you for stopping in.
🙂 I love your rhyme! Today, two of my adult kids went to celebrate the 4th of July with friends over an hour away. My son brought along a HUGE pickle jar! So funny what makes a good snack when you’re that age. I know God sees them and delights in them even more than I do. 😉
oh, that’s a funny connection. Thanks for stopping in!
I have often found that rearranging things yields more space. Weird but true.

Interesting dilemma.
yes, one worth talking through
I know… it’s very odd….
Oh, Yeah! Most days nothing makes sense! But God brings it into order … sometimes it takes a day or two … or weeks … or months
Thanks for your quirky, deep words! (FMF#6)
for truth! And thank you.
