How easy it is for me to feel stressed when life gets lifey and interferes with my plans. How easy it is to let frustration loom large and overshadow the many blessings in my life.
A few days ago I tried getting into my daughter's car while standing on a patch of ice. One foot was already in, but the other one started sliding, and before I knew it I had fallen out of the car and was lying on the ground. It was quite a shock, to say the least, but I'm very thankful that none of my bones got broken in the fall. That was easy to be grateful for.
Glad you're OK, Grams!
ReplyDeleteNow I dare not venture out
sans helmet on my head,
for I have a rightful doubt
of ability to tread,
as was an unquestioned thing,
with agility;
cancer had the knack to bring
me to reality,
to sympathize with the frail
with whom today I stand,
and find in this a Holy Grail
placed in mine own hand
that I myself may make a start
to drink, align with God's own heart.
Thanks, Andrew, and for writing me a sonnet as well. I save them all, and have quite a collection.
DeleteOh my, that is one beautiful bruise. I'm glad you're ok.
ReplyDeleteEven the "ordinary" things of life can become blog fodder...right?
Haha. Actually it looks a whole lot worse than it feels.
DeleteSo sorry you fell but thank goodness no broken bones. God is so good.
ReplyDeleteYes He is.
DeleteOh no! Get well soon. 🌷
ReplyDeleteThanks. It looks a lot worse than it feels. I do actually feel okay.
DeleteSo sorry this happened. Praying for God to bring relief from pain and a quick healing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne. It actually looks a lot worse than it feels. I haven't really felt any pain unless I touched it, and it seems to be much less tender now.
DeleteGlad you are recovering...and that no bones were broken! Praying you heal quickly and completely!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It looks much worse than it feels.
DeleteI'm sorry to hear about your accident but I'm glad you weren't too badly hurt!
ReplyDeleteMe too. God was good.
DeleteOh MY! What a blessing that you did not break anything or were not badly hurt!!!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteOuch! That look sore. Glad you didn't break anything.
ReplyDeleteMe too. And it was only sore when I touched it, so it really looks a whole lot worse than it actually felt.
DeleteOh Ouch!!! Glad it's not more serious than a bruise (although it looks like a painful one!) and praying that you're recovered quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It looks a lot worse than it feels. It was actually only tender when I touched it.
DeleteYikes, that is a nasty bruise but thank God it wasn't broken!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your fall!! I'm glad you're okay. I love your attitude of gratitude. Your FMF neighbour at #3 this week.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I just read this...I hope you continue to be okay and heal quickly. That looks like a real nasty bruise.
ReplyDeleteBe careful..Prayers for you.
