At my age, my old bones do not care for the frigid weather, plus the ice and snow made any travel difficult and dangerous. Right before the winter storm hit, I tripped and fell; I landed on the concrete porch and busted a rib or two!! No, I didn’t go to the Doctor because they can’t do anything about it anyway. So, I’ve spent all week sleeping very little in a chair at the kitchen table with a couple of pillows under my head. And like an old bear with a bad tooth, I didn’t have my normal sweet disposition!!
Well that’s enough whining and complaining about how lousy my week has been and I hope yours was a lot better. But I’m getting better and I’m beginning to realize how fortunate I really am. I have so much to be thankful for. I have a good wife that takes good care of me and puts up with me being grouchy when I’m in pain. I have a mess of grandkids and Harley the wonderdog to play catch with. I watched a lot of people out in the snow; sliding down the highway embankments on all sorts of makeshift sleds and tubes having a great time. I couldn’t partake in that activity but I sure had fun watching others!! I’m thankful the power didn’t go off and I stayed nice and warm and had plenty to eat.
Lord, please forgive me for having my selfish little pity party this week when there were many out there that had a week much worse than mine. Let’s all rejoice that when the storms of life come they do pass and be thankful that the Lord heals our wounds and illnesses. I don’t think this was a week to forget. I think it was a week to remember to be thankful that the Lord helped us through it. In His Word, Love, and Power, Pastor Lynn
