Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.” Helen Keller

“I lay my hand on my mouth.” Job 40

I was in Wal-mart the other day, feeling sorry for myself because my new diet prohibits sugar—I was on the cookie isle I'm sure. I looked up and around the corner a father came pushing a cart with one hand and pulling a wheelchair with the other. Sitting drawn up in the chair was his quadriplegic son. As I passed by I could see that the young man had a breathing tube in His throat. Our eyes met, I nodded to him realizing immediately he was unable to do even that. As I rounded the corner, I apologized to the Lord for any complaints I thought I had. There are times proper for putting your hand over your mouth. Any time we voice petty complaints or feel sorry for ourselves is one of them. 3/7/2011 Conversations Within ts (Cheaha, AL)
