When do you have Faith? Do you only have Faith when it comes to people? Do you have Faith when it comes to the sick? Do You have Faith when it comes to your life? To a friend or family member's life? When it suits you? When you are in a situation you think is life or death? Do you have Faith when on an airplane (like me)? Do you have Faith 100% of the time or 10% of the time? When is Faith for us?
When is Faith? Is it at a certain time of day? When we eat? Before we leave home? While the sun is shining? Do we get to choose when Faith is or does Faith itself choose when it is? When a sad boy who never had friends is getting ready to end his life at his crushes home is that when he has Faith? When a young girl has her life turned upside down and loses both of her parents does she have Faith then?
When is the time to have Faith? Is it now? Was it a year ago? Was it 9 and a half years ago? Was the time to have Faith when we were born? When we had that first fall and scrape? Is the time to have Faith before a major change? After a major change? When is Faith?
Faith for me is all the time. I constantly have it. I can not get rid of it. I feel it more at certain times than others. Faith does not have a time limit for me. I don't feel it at 1am but not at 1pm. I definitely feel it when I am on an airplane and when I land safely. I have Faith when it comes to everyone. I have Faith when it comes to my husband. I have Faith when it come to my family. I have Faith when it comes to friends. I have Faith when it comes to the sick.
When is Faith? Faith is when I decide to choose it but Faith is also when it chooses me. There are times I have Faith and I find it hard to believe I have it. Why? Because Faith chose me. Faith decided I needed it and it came to me. Now that is not often because I choose Faith on my own...about 99% of the time and 1% of the time it chooses me. Maybe you choose Faith 100% of the time and it never has to choose you. I'm not like that.
Faith is when I need it. Faith is on reserve for in case I may need it at some time down the road but not at that moment. Faith is around me all of the time. I may waver on it at times but I see it. I see it in the face of a friend who can finally breathe because she still has her husband with her after all of their trials and tribulations. I see it when I get to see the story of a person who thought they were never going to walk again. I see Faith when everything seems to be going wrong and there is at that one inkling of hope.
Faith is all the time. Whether I choose it or it chooses me Faith is always here. Faith is for everything. Whether it is people, animals or things Faith is always there. Faith does not discriminate due to who your friends are, your color, your age or your ability. Faith does not care. Faith is always there. Faith is when you are awake and when you are sleeping. Faith comes in your dreams and in your nightmares. Faith is there 100% of the time. Now, whether you have it or not, that is something you need to decide. But Faith is always there. Faith does not take time off. Faith does not get vacations or sick days. Faith is always there.
I know when I have Faith. I know when Faith is there for me. When do you have Faith? When is Faith there for you? You may think it is not there but surprise. It really is.
Beautiful writing, love! Great choice for a background picture, by the way.
