Blessings into burdens?


Guest

434 views

The sermon in church on Sunday really made me think. I sometimes wonder if that man at the pulpit can see right through me and know each and every thing that I have thought and done. Too often, we who are blessed, make our blessings into burdens. We take the things that are so precious and turn them into jobs. I wonder if someday we will be held accountable for all the pleasures we have failed to enjoy. It says that somewhere in the Talmud. My dear husband, parents, children and even my home are some of those precious things in my life that I have done that with from time to time, and I am so sorry. blush.gif With the holidays upon all of us, we are busy and hurried all the time. It is easy to make even the simplest thing into a huge job that takes all your time and energy. I think it is time to sit back and enjoy what I have and forget the rest. There really isn't much I can do about most of it anyway except worry my heart out, and what good is that going to do. I need to allow God to turn my weaknesses and wounds into a source of blessings for others.

MM it is so easy to get on the fast track and try to be SUPER MOM<WIFE DAUGHTER<HOUSEKEPER. Look at the shows we grew up with Ozzie & harriett, leave it to beaver.,

 

we should take more from I LOVE LUCY...

 

You have a great heart and have opened it, I don't know anyone, that would take on 4 kids when they are already caretaker to husband and parents and have a dughter and grandbaby at home....

 

Take a deep breath........

I can't reach you so I want you to put your arms around yourself and give yourself some pats on the back.

 

Take time to catch your breath ... you are a blessing to others

your friend Bonnie

MM, we need to look at our kids/grandkids enjoying life and be more like them, make a bit of mess, have a bit more fun. How can we say we are preparing for "holidays" it we make them seem drab, dreary and just plain hard-work?

I too make blessings into burdens and then complain that I am Soooo busy. And that doesn't leave a lot of time to just love life.

I'm with Bonnie, I think your life has a lot of worthwhile stuff in it, so relax and enjoy it more.

Sue.
