“Presenting Case” [Kingdom-layer reflections on ‘Health and Wellness’ series - FX]
The problem’s “Backlog” – to our minds –
We’re like the rest, we’re “Just-in-time”
To see one’s lifestyle hit the rocks,
As ships in storms are tempest tossed.Our problem? We’re programmed to fix
Each person met, stuck in some ditch;
Though trained to take a long-term view,
“How’s that play out in what to do –“When we’re confronted with a mess?
They’ll have no ‘long-term chance’, unless
They get ‘acute-care’ from some Doc,
Then, from such treatment they can walk.But there’s the rub – they’ll slide back in
To twisted lifestyle, then begin
To take up life where they left off –
“I’m home!” “I’m fixed!” Or some such talk.Two ways folks can be helped through this –
Type one, gets help from docs – once fixed,
They’re then alive to hear of change
Which must be made – life rearranged.Type two must face the music first –
Confronted with a context worse
Than what they had foreseen, the stress
Can penetrate to will, through mess.Whichever way – the bottom line
Is change in lifestyle, made in time
To shift results to better, best,
From what they face as “none, the less”.And that’s our job – to coach them through
Tough changes; help with lifestyle new;
Build up effectiveness and strengths,
As they take hold of life – at length.Thanks Lord for this.
