Well, I have not posted anything for two weeks. You see, I had a bad fall, hit my head, have an eight-inch gash and a concussion. I spent three days in the hospital. However, it could have been so much worse. I did reach my phone in time; I didn’t have a brain bleed or break anything and am recovering.
It put things in perspective for me when I think about the fact that I live alone, lost a great deal of blood and may not have been here today. Things that used to matter or I thought were big things, all have faded away into this thought: I don’t need to daydream because I already have a great life.
Yes, there is pain and struggles, but my blessings far outweigh them all. I cling to that as I struggle to regain my strength, because it is true. Perhaps you are letting things get in the way of your peace. I hope you do not need a wake-up call as I had to remember what is important and to count your blessings instead of your troubles.
Psalm 23:5 NLT – You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.
