Title: Perspective
Post by: Bonebuster on January 31, 2008, 08:42:00 PM

This past weekend, I was feeling very sorry for myself, because of all the work I need to catch up on around my house. Long story short, I spent more time complaining, than getting things done.

Monday morning, the flu hit me like a twelve guage slug.

Until this morning, lifting my head was too much to expect. For the first time in my life I was sick enough that I COULD NOT get up and suffer through it. I was physically unable.

It made me realize how truely lucky I have been, and while I will probably still complain some, I will "git er done".

I will NEVER take my physical abilities for granted again.

I rarely post here, but my prayers are present here always.

Prayers for the acceptance of your weakness' as your strengths. That's when you look to God and you find Him.

Don't ole Benson just have a way with words, though? Good point, my friend... "weakness as our strength through God."

What would we do without Him?

bonebuster, feel better soon...

Bonebuster I hope I didn't come across as being hardnosed in my reply. I just have felt like you so many times and it seems like I find such peace in God's presence and acceptance during those times. I hope you feel the same. God's best to you.

Benbow, I see no hardnosed comments here.

I had time to think, while I was on my back in a heap.

There I was, able bodied, and complaining about chores to be done. All the while, too many, who would love to be able to get up and do ANYTHING, cannot.

Prayers are not needed for me, although I thank you all.

I will get up and do what needs to be done. And I will whistle while I work.

Indeed...Thank you God!
