Day 5

Well, well, moving right along. Sorry I missed since my last blog, dealing with things of the real world. And I'm baaaaa-aaaaack!


5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy .

Energy - oh, yes! At age 57 I have more energy than I ever expected and I know a lot of that comes from taking daily vitamins, exercise, eating right, and enough sleep. And I'm proud to say that I do some of those things, in no particular order, on any given day....blah, blah-blah, blah-blah.....teehee.

Enthusiasm - working on that one, too. For example, I've again rented the movie Pollyanna - not only enthusiasm but a positive attitude, too. That's just too earthly. Really it boils down to TRUST IN GOD, and boy have I had to do that a LOT lately. Always learning.

Empathy - well, let's go to the dictionary for that one just to make sure we're on the same channel....Thesaurus says, "understanding, sympathy, compassion." Okay, I've always had that. Oh, but YES, LORD, I know where you're going with that. Well, yes, with the constant reminders you're giving me lately, I am getting better at that. Yes, I know, I've struggled with that so often that it is always in the forefront of my mind, yet right now it's hard since it is hurting someone I love very dearly. And I keep wondering if what we are doing is right.

And then I remember that what we do only has to be right with God, and I let it go, let it go to him, to God, to my Almighty Father. And I feel his hands on my shoulders again. Thank you, God. I do sooooooooooooooooo love you.
