When anxiety and turmoil overwhelms you..............
My husband was out of work from the end of
March, through April, May, and June.
His back was causing him great pain.
I started a new job, to help pay the bills.
It was stressful at almost 60 to learn a new
job. Humbling to be trained by a 22 year old!
I am thankful for the new job.
My husband got sick with some kind of bug.
He missed more work. No paid days left.
Thankful that he got better.
My dad passed away. The beginning of this month, September, was the funeral.
It required us driving 2000 miles in 4 days, attending a funeral, dealing with finances for
the trip etc. Thankful for an aunt and uncle that helped us with some of the finances.
Thankful for a dad that lived a full and meaningful life.
Got home from the funeral. and the dog had to be taken to the vet.
He was untreatable. . . after they charged us $500.
He is dying of cancer.
Thankful that my son got me this dog twelve years ago to fill my
aching heart.
Was working outside, sliced my finger on some glass.
After two weeks it still wasn't healing.
I felt it closely and realized there was still a
good sized piece of glass in the cut!
The cut had been so deep that I just kept it
wrapped most of the time. So this was the
first time I could actually see the glass!
I am thankful that I found the glass and
the cut healed almost overnight after that!
Still in the same month of September.
Our sewer pipes collapsed.
We were without sewer for a few days.
Then, had to pay $4,000 to have the pipes redone.
Had to take out a loan.
Thankful that we qualified for the loan.
My husband has been sick again.
Started Friday.
Going on a week.
He now gets no sick pay because he used it all up
when his back was out.
Thankful that his back has been doing better.
He has been running a fever on and off of 103.
The doctor said it was gastroenteritis......
I guess they say that when they don't really know.
Thankful that there will be an answer.
So, my husband with 103 fever,
had to sign a paper today at work.
It says that if he misses any more work,
he is terminated from employment.
So it is finally September 30.
The brakes on the Jeep went out
while my husband was driving.
Thankful he didn't get in an accident.
The dryer just went out.
I feel lonely sometimes.
It is still September.
But I am thankful that I can:
Run to Him.
Be anxious for nothing.
Go forward into the future bravely and unafraid.
Focus on Him and not the problem or the person.
Remember that you are:
Treasured by God.
Empowered by God.
Provided for by God.
Cared for by God.
Loved by God.
He is the One who matters the Most!
