Think on these things

By Joyce Sequichie Hifler 

Think on these things Joyce Sequichie Hifler Thu, 09/22/2022 - 22:02

Has this been a good week? Personally, it makes me want to ask myself what I think I am doing or maybe what I am not thinking clearly about. I cut my finger chopping vegetables, I stuck my fingers in the car door just before it was closed, I burned the breakfast sausage, and I had to have eye surgery, which is ongoing. but compared to those things, I am well and able and have lots of support.

Others support us but do we support ourselves? There is a difference in what we think and what we say and how we act, I have to admit that I whined a little when I mashed my fingers, but I did it and I have to overcome it To keep on wailing is a loss of effort This will pass and we will have a chance to do better. I cannot seek praise for my bravery because I am not brave. I am simply a woman who must get something done and I will do it to the best of my ability. Will you please bless me while I am about it?
