5 Minute Friday - Willing

Joining Lisa Jo and the girls for 5 Minute Friday.  No edits, no re-writes and love the ones that came before you.

Prompt: WILLING
Go........

Just how far, I wonder some days, am I really willing to go? How much am I willing to bend, to give, to lay down, to sacrifice.....before it is enough.  How many days will I count, sleeps, wakes, runs, meals.....just how many Lord?  Just when is the number enough?  How much were You willing to give? What number of children would be enough before You say no more? What amount of sacrifice was too great for You? What price was just too high? None.  There was no price too high.  You were willing to loose it all, even Your own life for just one.  One.  The gravity of that takes my breath.  That You love us so...and some times You ask us to let You use our lives to show another just a glimpse of that.....if we might be willing.  Thankful.

STOP.
