"Causing Blisters"



 

“Causing Blisters”

 

cji

9/29/14

 

The smallest piece of sand

rubbing eternally on skin

irritating and inflaming both

much as work seldom done

causing blisters to form

yet hardened in time

callous able to form

much as hurtful words

loosely used to demean

at first to hurt painfully

then to toughen one up

all in the pursuit to endure

allowing growth from within

smoothing and tempering

into more fully what we are

as eternal children of God!
