I find I have to be extra careful about causing my own problems, even now.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633687387688783587.post-11373116073973531342017-06-14T14:09:52.457-04:002017-06-14T14:09:52.457-04:00Oh yes... the hard lessons of learning we are only...Oh yes... the hard lessons of learning we are only responsible for ourselves and we can only be the boss of us!

The Lord's been showing me areas lately where I've created an issue or an attitude through various things such as pride or fear.

It is so easy to let those "letdowns" get us down. We need to focus instead on the wonderful blessings of God each and every day, even in the mundane things of life. I try to remind myself of that. Sometimes the mundane is a good, solid place to be...if we just allow ourselves to see God in our everyday situation and give Him the praise. Speaking to myself here...Pamela M.
