COVENANTS
Long before we hear the word, “covenant”,
long before we hear the word, “contracts,”
we have them - that our dad will be there
this evening - that mom or grandma will be
there after the game or practice to take us
home and if we hint,
hint, at times they
will bring us and our best friend for ice cream.
We know down deep that our mom and dad -
are a lean against - especially when scary
is in the air - that they are like those enormous
black painted iron anchors - with black
chains included. And when that doesn’t
happen - no matter what the name of our
ship is - it doesn’t matter. It’s called,
“Disappointment.” And when some preacher
or religion teacher talks about covenants
with God, we don’t get it, we won’t get it,
because we didn’t experience the primary
covenants that were not drafted in our home.
