Please send Bob anything to encourage him to hang in there these last few weeks of therapy.
Haha...Bob is so funny. I told him tonight that there are advantages to his short memory. I said, "If you get mad at me, I just need to wait five minutes, then you won't remember your mad at me." Bob agreed. Then I said, "I can spend all your money. You'll never remember if I spent it or if you spent it." Bob laughed and said, "I think I'll remember that one, so don't do it." I suppose I shouldn't press my luck.
We learn lessons in the strangest places. It has been brought to my attention that my blogs are sounding like I'm getting frustrated and "burned out". That observation was told to me by more than one reader. More like five or six. I received one email inviting me out to lunch for a break. And, lord knows, I need a mental break. I teetered back and forth; should I go? I should go. Oh, I don't want to be such a bother. On and on, I debated.
Later, Zachary and Coupe, the puppy, were outside playing with the Frisbee. Bentley, the older lazy dog, stood in the doorway watching with a look of "I want to play too". I kept pushing on his butt encouraging him to go out. It took a few attempts. He finally went.
There's my lesson in a hidden place. I need to listen to my own encouragement. I want to go to lunch with friends, and I should go to lunch with friends to take a break. So, I'll push my own rump to get out of the door.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for the good future that You have prepared for me. Today I choose to come into agreement with Your Word and declare Your blessing over my life. Keep me close to You as I surrender every area of my life to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
