I find myself more and more these days wishing that life was like the remote for your TV, that it had buttons on that you could use, like you do your remote, you could pause your life when things were getting out of hand, you could rewind a situation that did not end as you had planned, and just delete days that were just to embarrassing, painful to relive, that you could replay the good days the days filled with laughter and friends and family over and over again.
Instead I am divorced after almost 30 years of marraige......... Along with my youngest daughter I now have my new grandson invading my house.
And yet I know, believe with all my heart that God is in control that there is a purpose, a
usefulness for what I am going through, so everyday I smile because life is good, I could be homeless, jobless, family and friendless, I could be a drug addict, an alcoholic, I could be a raving lunatic( this on some days is still debatable) I could be sick, I could be helpless,
but I know I am the royal daughter of my Heavenly Father, I am an heiress to his Kingdom, I am his favoured one, I was created by Him in His image, and he knows the number of hairs on my head.............
Yes, its confirmed life is good, GOD IS GOOD............ ALWAYS
I like this. I know it helps me tremendously when I am down in the dumps to start thinking on all the wonderful ways my life is blessed. Everything isn't perfect, some things are not as they should be, and yes, the remote idea would be a great way to hold still or fast forward.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a good outlook on life.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I really had to laugh out loud when I read your comment. Working at the farm feeding calves and walking in cow patties isn't exactly how I had envisioned spending my old age, lol.... I had quite a different picture but somehow I found myself in this mess morning and night. My Super Woman outfit is pretty splattered by the end of the day, lol...
ReplyDeleteIt could be worst so like you I have to count my blessings every day. Also like you, many things my husband should do for me, I've always have had to do it myself. He doesn't care to look after the yard, gardens, home repairs and maintenance. I think it's worst because it's a man's job yet I have to do it because he doesn't... and then, there's the office work, grocery, cleaning and laundry, etc. That's one of my crosses to bear. He's a good man but just not very handy around the home. lol...
Wishing you some renewed strength and peace of mind.
Hugs,
JB
your daughter and grandson are fortunate that they can live with you. blessings to you all.
ReplyDeleteEveryone would wish for the same at sometime in their life... glad life is good for you despite what :)
ReplyDeleteWe are housing a son and our 2 Granddaughters who are here part of the time. It makes it a bit crazy and I also thought I'd be child free...but it is what it is and we're hoping this will give him time to regroup and save some money to move into his own place in the Spring. I too try and remember to count my blessings and remember who I am and thank my Heavenly Father each day. Hope it all goes well for you!
