Words I'm Loving on Wednesday

Life is full of challenges.  Daily challenges.  Sometimes every single minute there seems to be a challenge. With something or someone in your life.  On those days I quickly try to change the outcome.  I set goals.  I plan for the future.  And that future may just be two days away. Heck, it may two hours away!  I plan minute by minute sometimes.  But I plan for it.  I pray and ask God to direct my path because I know the devil is out to make it one tough obstacle after another.

I tell myself I can do this!  I can withstand these challenges right here-right now!

Then I stumble.

I let my guard down.  My children insist on being bossy.  I burn the granola.  We run out of milk.....and EVOO.  Breakfast is rushed.  I forgot to wash clothes and the boys have nothing but pjs to wear. We start school on the wrong foot.  I didn't plan for lunch.  Knives are flying at my back!  I speak unkind words.  I have hateful thoughts!  I FUME!  And then laugh.  AND HARD!   I give in.  I allow ridiculous nonsense to make me fall off my positive pursuit to a good day.  And about that time the devil is laughing too!

And that is when I remember these words..........................

"If you’re going through hell, keep going." Winston Churchill

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

However mean your life is, meet it and live it.”
― Henry David Thoreau

 

 

 

And wake up with this attitude.................

 

 

and then

 

 

 

Happy Wednesday!
