Today is going to be one of those "choosing" days.
I woke up with a headache and a cranky spirit. Carson is ever faithful in his attendance, my morning coffee is here, the newspaper awaits, a contented cat purrs at my side and I'm still crabby. Does God listen to the prayers of a crabby person? I sure hope so, since a serious attitude adjustment is in order here.
"You may talk to Me as much as you like about the difficulty of the path we are following. I understand better than anyone else the stresses and strains that have afflicted you. You can ventilate safely to Me, because talking with Me tempers your thoughts and helps you see things from My perspective."-Sarah Young (Jesus Calling).
Note to self: Notice He says "...talking with Me", not to Me. This is a dialogue, not a monologue.
"If possible, as far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all people."-Romans 12:18 (NET).
Note to self: "As far as it depends on you..." That would be YOU, Barb!
"A cheerful heart brings good healing but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."-Proverbs 17:22 (NET).
Note to self: Hmmm...which to choose; a cheerful heart, a crushed spirit or dried bones?
So, I choose to have a great day....eventually.
On the health front:
Two radiation treatments and one POUS to go...Hallelujah!
I am so glad with you that you are nearing the end of your chemo and radiation therapy. I celebrate with you! We all look foward to the day soon that you will be joining us back in Sunday morning Faith Builder's class. We all love you so much and miss your smiling face and insightful comments. I'm praying for your health.
