A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Easter

Mary of Bethany

It's like back home, opening a quart of vodka and throwing the cap away. It's the start of a one way trip.

It's like Mary of Bethany
Coming into the room with her heart pounding, chest bursting, not saying anything, just needing desperately to do what she came to.

Breaking the seal.

Breaking it like a one way trip.

Pouring this out and feeling relief she only hoped it would bring.
Watching it drip down, realizing it was a bit more in the bottle than she expected.
Suddenly realizing she had nothing with which to wipe any of this up,
She was already smiling as tears no longer demanded an escape.
Flushed of face and grinning toward His feet, she wiped them with her hair.

"This will stay with me a while. This image of glistening feet. This aroma in the room. This scent in my hair. This feeling I belong. Thank you LORD."

And as I tip that bottle again I only wonder how close I am.
