Thought for today

I am off this morning getting ready to take Micael to dentist for teeth removal and a set of dentures. So I thought while I had time I would read my daily God Issues email.

This saying was in it:
Jonathan Edwards approached our question practically. He resolved "never to do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life." He also determined "that I will live so, as I shall wish I had done when I come to die."

What a great thought! I need to live more like that. I need to let go of grudges, stress, lonliness, all negative energy and do something useful. None of this matters anyway, right?

Hugs my friends! Have a wonderful day!

Steering Wheel or Spare Tire?

I ws reading the web today. Wanted to listen to some Dallas station. Didn't know the name so I typed in the numbers off the radio. 96.3 dallas tx and found the radio station so I can listen to it at work. Scrolled down the page and found that Rebecca is no longer there but she has a blog telling why she is not there. The name of the blog is Love. Share. Shine. Made me cry.

Then I went to my hotmail account and we reading my God Issues story for today. The last line got me.

Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom asked, “Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?”

What is prayer to me? I'm trying to make it my steering wheel, but I'm thinking I use it more often as my spare tire.

How bout you?

Hugs.

God Issues

I subscribe to a daily email called God Issues. Some days it is just what I need to hear.

Seems lately, I should've opened more of these.

It's not that I feel God has left me, I just don't know what He wants me to do. I'm sure sobbing and crying over the split with  my kids is not quite what He had in mind, but I can't get past it. This has been going on for over 4 months. And a wedding looming in the near future, which is causing even more problems.

I'm at a loss.

Then in the midst of this, Tracy's birthday is Thursday. She would be 33. This week it is hard to realize that. She was 8 and a half when she died. Some years I deal ok. Others-not so much. This is an Other year.

Would you hold me up this week?

Hugs.

May you have many worries

I was cleaning emails today. Just hitting the down arrow to see what was next. Here was what was next:

Tiny Buddah: May you have many worries

It hit home. I worry about the bills, work, school, the kids, the kids fights, the grandkids, friends, my mother, etc. Get the picture?

This story reminded me that I have today to do with the best I can. I can love the extra time God has given Michael and myself. I can love the times with the Grands. The blessing I have of working with Layne. Be thankful for the massive amount of yelping I receive when I walk through the door after work. The fact that I am not doing well in school is nothing. Let it go.

I am blessed. Aren't you too?

Hugs!
