Things can always be worse, but knowing that doesn't necessarily take the sting out of the trials.<br /><br />Do you have a fireplace? or a firepit outside? Just warm yourself thinking about all the heavenly aromas and fun family times you'll have around the fire. And you're all safe and warm, and God is hovering over you, pleased with your faithfulness and perseverance.

Our neighbors had a tree fall and it crushed their car and demolished their front porch. <br /><br />I struggled a lot with worry in my younger days. I like to say its genetic as my mom is the queen of the worriers. In recent years I have purposely memorized scripture relating to worry, fear and trust and it has helped me tremendously. I keep it at the top of my brain so to speak and I pull it out as I feel worry beginning to creep in. <br /><br />This was a great post...I always leave here thinking.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727615822243830106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817241909677069838.post-91942192118235117162010-01-27T15:01:36.628-05:002010-01-27T15:01:36.628-05:00Thanks for such a great post.Thanks for such a great post.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817241909677069838.post-25275365553232067362010-01-27T12:57:42.492-05:002010-01-27T12:57:42.492-05:00As "Queen" of worrying, I needed to hear...As "Queen" of worrying, I needed to hear this.<br /><br />Two kids driving?!!!

It's important to plan for the future, but it does no good to worry about it. Besides, too much worry can lead to anxiety which can lead to a heart attack which means the future never happens anyway.

I often find, as I begin to worry, that I wind up in the most odd of places within my own mind...so then I have to wonder how in the world I got to thinking about THAT and I trace it backwards in my mind until I get back to the original thought that was no where NEAR where I ended up and then I thank God that I don't drive like I think and... <br /><br />There.
