Toe, I’m Sorry
(THUMP)
“Oh, OW, OW, OW, Ow, Ow,… ow…ow…ow.…”
“Oh…oh…oh…where did that come from?”
Oh dear. My toe…oh…oh….”
“Who put that there? Oh yeh, I did, so I knew where it was.”
“Stupid toe. I’ve got so much to do today: Mary’s been gone and I need to find out what all the Pastor needs, I know I need to substitute for her at the prayer meeting tonight, set-up for her children’s church, and, well,…how am I going to do that with my foot throbbing like this?”
“I haven’t got time to go to the Doctor. The emergency room might be quicker.”
“Yeh, right, two hour wait. Ouch, I can barely walk on it. I think it’s broken. Where has Mary been anyway?”
“Why now? Lord, don’t you know I’ve got a full plate today? I’ve got so many things to do for You.”
“You’ve been neglecting a toe.”
“Neglecting a toe?”
“Yes”
“I don’t pay any attention to my toes…well, not until something like this happens.”
“You’ve been neglecting a toe.”
“A toe?” (Hmmm, I don’t see anything particular about this toe; other than it hurts)
“Not that toe.”
“But this is the one that’s hurting!”
“Not that toe, My toe.”
“Your toe? You mean Mary?”
“Yes”
“Your…toe….I’m sorry, Lord, forgive me for ignoring Mary. Now I know why Your Body, our Church, has been limping along; Mary has been hurting and we’ve not been taking care of her. Thank you, Lord Jesus, I understand now we both really are fearfully and wonderfully made. I will see Mary right now.”
“Ouch. Uh…Lord, uh…about my toe…?”
