A friend of mine is in Florida. She called recently and left a message. She was sorry she had missed me and it was cold enough that she had to put on a sweater. Poor her. I’m wearing three layers in the house.
Actually it is all relative. She’s in a location that is supposed to be hot and it isn’t so she is not happy.
It really doesn’t matter how cold it is up here in Canada, there is disappointment down there in having to wear a sweater instead of a bathing suit.
And that goes for all parts of our life. Our expectations can become a real problem if we let it. I know what I want to have happen, for the most part, so that I will feel good but, I have to constantly remember that I cannot control most parts of my life except one, my attitude.
When I choose to accept what happens, look to the One who promises to help me through it, I can face whatever comes my way.
