It started out finding out what or meant to put on the armor of light.

Let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. -Romans 13:12 NASB

Ohhh…Armor…sounds cool but I bet it is warm when you have it on. (Yes, I am eating a sugar cookie for breakfast. I have to fill my stomach before I take some ibuprofen).

You see, I stumbled last night and twisted my ankle. Something that has been happening more often. Especially when I am tired or in my world, fatigued. Would the armor have protected me from falling in our kitchen?

I don’t want to fall. As it was happening, I kept thinking of all the things that would hurt and the bruises that would come amongst other things. (I have enough bruises now) Plus, I don’t heal as fast as other folks. Which comes with my disease.

I can be in the light & know what can come with my disease. That knowledge can be helpful when situations arise (like falling).

I visited our local theater and it reminded me of stars. They have a light, however, they can burn out.

It’s a lot like us. We can share our light, but, we also can burn out.

I wonder just how hard it is to catch a falling star. (Yeah. I am thinking of that song. I don’t want to put it in my pocket).

We have physically had rainy days. After looking fully at the lyrics, putting something in a pocket to share on a rainy day is grand. Sharing what you have with someone you love is what Jesus intended I believe. He loves & shares with us.

The early church did this. “What’s mine, is yours.” (Even how we feel).

I often change what I am thinking about on a dime. That’s me. I’m now thinking of falling or stumbling. I do both spiritually and physically.

Falling is to collapse or to drop down, to become lower in degree or level, to come by assignment or inheritance, to descend or to stumble or stray. (That is per my NLT Bible).

I often physically& spiritually fall or stumble so I have verses highlighted to remind me I always have Him when I do.

He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. – Psalm 121:3 NLT

Is not that lovely? It shows His love & strength.

What I just wrote is something I need to remember and be thankful for.

Thankful I can share or put it in my pocket.
