Don't Worry ????

Profoundly things tend to come out of the blue and hit you right between the eyes. Sometimes it is the smallest of things, and the other times you have to ask yourself, “Why didn’t’ I think of that?” It is at these moments that we are most productive. It is the times that you see or hear something that makes the most sense that you look back and wonder what motivated that individual to reach that point in his life, and can I do the same? The answer is “Yes you can!!!” You can do anything and everything possible with the right help and guidance, and the right path in life. You can succeed in all your endeavors if you prepare yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Do not look on your task at hand as a job to do or a meaningless task, but rather look at everything as a challenge and a blessing. Never take anything in life for granted, rather remember there are always others who would love the opportunity to do what you can. There are those who do not have the ability or the health to perform the tasks that you consider easy. There are those who would give everything they had in life to be able to work, no matter the task or the job, but to just be able to perform any task.

I would love to once again be able to ride a horse, run a race, work in the same type of job I have worked on the early part of my life, but the truth is I cannot. I have a back that the doctor’s claim is inoperable and they can see no way that I should be able to do what I do now, and you know what? Being able to surpass the doctors and the naysayers is a good feeling. I too used to sit and get angry because of the pain and the torment my back gives me every single minute of the day. The pain that even though I am dosed with medication 24 hours a day will not go away but stays, reminds me of my short comings, but not of what my potential is now.  At first I was mad and I held others responsible for my condition unil I sat and shared my feelings with God. It was then that a realized that even though I am the way I am now,   in pain and unable to do what I have done in the past, God is not through with me. He has changed my life and awakened a spark in me that was out for a while. He has re charged my cells and he has given me a new task and a new course to follow, and as long as I can I will do his work.

So remember when you think all is bad and nothing could get worse, remember there are others out there that have it much worse and would love to be in your shoes. I was awakened with a passage I want to close this week with, and it is short. It is from a phrase in the Bible, but the shorter version is now my battle cry; “don’t worry about anything, pray about everything!”
