I am the type of person who wants to do it all… all the time. Yet if you looked at my house right now you would have NO idea I feel this way. I have had to in the last few weeks learn that if I am going to do ANYTHING I can not do EVERYTHING. This has been a hard lesson but one that I needed to learn, not only for myself but for my daughter as well. It is a hard thing understanding that your body has limitations, understanding this as a child is harder. in I assure you it would be a much harder lesson if I was throwing a fit when my body was not cooperating. And then in the same fit expecting her to “understand” why her little body does not work just right.
I am thankful tonight that I have a husband who when I can’t do everything he picks up the slack. I am honored that I am able to lend some advice to my daughter… and she can see in a tangible way that I am doing for myself what I ask her to do. I am amazed that God has given me this life. My prayer is that he will be able to use the bits and pieces of our life to bless some part of yours.
My Dear Rachel You amaze me all the time and feel so blessed at your loving spirit
God is able to help us be and do all that He wants us to do, Eph. 3;20&21. Love so much. Just down worry about your house OK. Love Gram
Rach, I’m so sorry you are going through this debilitating time with the migranes, but glad doctors are getting to the bottom of the problems. You are so wise to show Minnie by your example that limitations are different for everyone and if we deal with them with grace to ourselves as Christ gives us grace, He will be with us and give us strength to go on with our journey. His ways are not our ways, but His ways are best! We would choose different paths for our journey, but God puts roadblocks and detours so that eventually we start trusting more & more in Him . . . Then following His paths start becoming our choice sooner rather than later….it isn’t easy, but God is good and we can trust His goodness in knowing the full picture for our lives.
