Weeping in the Night

Psalm 30:5b "...weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning"


Remember the song when you were a child, "ten little monkeys in the bed, one fell out and bumped his head." That was the beginning of a loud wail during the night when Zion fell out of bed and bumped his head. He wouldn't stop crying, at least it was more crying than previous tumbles out of bed.


Finally, Agape gave him some tylenol to ease the pain and bring quiet to the night. Thinking the problem was solved, Daddy returned to his bed. But soon the wailing started again, this time with a different problem.


He barely got to the room, and picked up Zion when he vomited on his bed, and heaven forbid, his blankie, on Agape, and the floor. The first thing Agape thought of was a concussion, but then remembered he gave him tylenol on an empty stomach, which is usually a wrong move with Zion.


Agape stripped the bed, towels, Zion's pj's, his own clothes. Now Zion was really upset, his blankie had to go in the washer. He spent the rest of the night in his daddy's bed.


This morning, Zion woke with a song on his lips, happy as a lark, as if nothing had happened. Well, that is until his daddy gave him a bath and happened to rub his head where he bumped it.


I thought of that verse, how often we go through a time of pain but then God gives us a song in the morning. We really can every day happenings to remember God's Word.


God bless you
