  Finding My Knees
One of the things I am grateful for today(see below) is that I got down on my knees and prayed this morning. A few weeks ago, I was fighting getting down on my knees. Not out and out rebellion, just little nagging thoughts. Thoughts like, "God hears me just as well when I sit" and "I am really too stiff in the morning to be doing this." Then in the span of a few days, two people shared at meetings how they no longer could get on their knees because of physical limitations. Here I was avoiding my knees because of a willingness limitation. Today I am not only grateful that I got on my knees but, that I was able and willing to get on my knees.
 
Comments:
No, it is a very flattering picture of Anne Smith Dr. Bob's long-suffering wife. I really should use Marty Mann or Florence R. but I cannot find one good enough to use.
 
Pat, would that be prostrate instead of prostate?
 
Not that many
 
glad i am not the only one who at times, "wont" hit my knees, defiance... yep thats me
 
ROFL! Don't forget, "...when angels prostate fall..." I sang it for years when I was little. :)
 
I know just what you mean. There are days, and I attribute it to my age .. when I can't get down on both knees, still I try. Good post!

By the way, thanks for dropping in.
