Long Lines, Broken Fences, And Other Perils

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16

Stuff in life just seems to happen and you have to roll with the punches so to speak. Recently part of our cattle fencing blew over in a storm in a field where there were seven cows grazing. This non farm girl had to run like a crazy person to get them rounded up without the help of DAVE and in a thunderstorm. A few days ago I stood in a line for over an hour in order to get a new military ID.  Most people don’t complain when waiting in line to meet a celebrity which I have also done. The point is sometimes the unexpected or bad happens and you can not let it ruin your day. 

In the military,  soldiers are trained to deal with all sorts of scenarios so you become well prepared for the unexpected. But even if you never were in the military you have to develop coping skills so as to not explode when things in life go haywire. Roll with the punches the saying goes. 

Is something unexpectedly crazy going on in your life right now? Have you taken a breath then prayed and tried to just relax? Give it a try and don’t freak out and each situation that comes along just breathe and say “Ok God you have got this” then go and seize the day ahead of you. 

PRAYER: Father I know you want me to be still. Also I know sometimes many things happen for a reason. You work all things together for good so help me be calm in the midst of a storm. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
