No idea why that title occurred to me this morning. But in a way it fits because I know with puncture wounds you have to keep them from closing at the surface so all the infection isn't just covered over.
So I think I need a plan to work on healing on the inside, rather than just acting as if on the outside.
This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day. I love you.
GOD
P.S.
And, remember.... If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you can not handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself !! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.
P.S.S.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.
If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!
Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know! Now, you have a nice day,
God

Hi Pam - I for one am glad you are not quite ready to quit the bb just yet - we need you I like the note from God - puts an interesting spin on things, doesn't it?
Well, I am afraid I'm not too useful on the bb anymore. I guess where I feel I am at I am glad to be out of limbo and not sure how much help I could be to someone still there right now.
It is raining here now, but supposed to clear up before I get off from work. I love sunny days so much better than rainy ones!
I think the part that hit me the most is it will be handled but not on my time frame. Which is ALWAYS a problem for me.

Step # 1 Focus on the positives that I do have rather than the negatives that in one form or another are always going to be present in life.
I believe at one time Kitti and I had an agreement to list 10 positives a day. I don't know if I will make 10 right off, but probably as the mind becomes accoustomed to focusing on the positives it will get easier.

List things I am grateful for so that is more where my mind is turned.
Work on things to help me feel better about myself, it needs to come from the inside NOT the outside and it is all about choices and making the ones to enjoy life and feel good, rather than mop and feel down.
Realize my self worth is not determined by how useful I am to other people. I am a person with worth and value, who has made mistakes and poor choices in her life, but also learned some from them and isn't that the definition of life?
Now to come up with the actions to go with the thoughts.
