everyday is a journey.
Renew Thine image, Lord, in me,
Lowly and gentle may I be;
No charms but these to Thee are dear;
No anger mayst Thou ever find,
No pride in my unruffled mind,
But faith, and heaven-born peace be there.
P. GERHARDT.
There are many stresses in life. Stress is all around us, pushing at us all day long. How we handle that stress depends on who we are, where we are going and who we have been. Some stresses are set in front of us and others very well hidden.
The biggest stress we may have depends on what is going on in our lives. Is it money problems? Perhaps relational problems in marriage, friendships and even familial. There is plenty of stress in our work lives no matter how much we strive to get away from it all on the weekends and holidays.
Having a chronic illness such as a cancer, places us on a journey of stress to a destination none of us want to go on. Yet, we're not the only ones on it, are we?
For the next several days, I'll be taking a look at the stresses in life and how they pertain to me personally and those around me. Who knows what we will find on this new journey that we embark on? We might actually know ourselves a little deeper and a little better. Who knows what will come out especially if it has been hidden and lost inside of us?
What are the stresses in your life? Have you even acknowledged what they are? Or the affect they have on you? Or are you like many who refuse to believe they are stressed at all? Is it even possible to live a stress free life? Well, I certainly intend on finding out.
Have a blessed day everyone.
