Resilience

Sue’s Views
How resilient are you? One thing I love about palm trees is how they are tossed by the storms ….. but always find their way up. Resilient people are able to roll with the punches. They don’t give in to the pressure of life’s storms that have the power to knock them flat. Their compass is always set to north. They don’t give up or admit defeat ….. they see each day as a new opportunity to start over. They see their detours as lessons learned how not to do it next time! They forgive others ….. and forgive themselves. Here’s to a more resilient 2021!

One Day at a Time

Sue’s Views

My theme song at this time of year is ‘One day at a time’! And sometimes even ‘One step at a time’!  Jesus warned his disciples not to worry about tomorrow because today has enough to focus on. Much of our stress and anxiety is based on stuff that hasn’t happened yet ….. and may never happen! Have you noticed how the media sensationalises things to make you feel like you are living through something that hasn’t happened yet? Our minds and bodies can’t cope with that. We must learn to live in the present ….. and do life in bite sized pieces! Reading back through my journal ….. I can see that much of what I feared never happened ….. or help came just when I needed it! Commit each day to the Lord and He will determine the outcome!
