Just Thinkin'

I was thinkin' (for those of you concerned, no it didn't hurt) about something that came up in a discussion last night and wanted to share it with you. I was talking to a dear friend last night who has been worrying about things. He made the comment that his wife was so loving as to point out to him that he tells others that they shouldn't worry, they should give it over to God, worrying doesn't do anything for you, etc, etc. (sounded way familiar). Anyhow, she says to him (in much love) you're always saying that and here you are worrying, what's with that?

It's hard to always walk the talk. Sometimes we need a loving person to remind us that we aren't exactly doing what we say, especially when it comes to worry. When I catch myself in worry I realize that I need to ask God to forgive me. If I'm worrying, I'm not trusting. There are still times when worry is never completely gone from me, especially reagrding my kids. I have been able to get rid of worry many times by simply realizing that it is not what God wants for me.

Next time you are tempted to worry, ask yourself if you think God wants you to worry or give it to Him? Then, do things His way - it'll turn out so much better.

Have a blessed day as you bless those around you.
