A Merry Heart

These past days have been a little crazy!  My house, kinda like me, is aging.  :)  Things are breaking down and repairs are needed.  Recently it seems like daily something stops working.  It's been a revolving door of repairmen coming and going.

I was speaking with a family member who is going through a very challenging season.  The person said it was helpful to stop and think - "do I have everything I need in this moment, for this day?"  It helped to not be overwhelmed with the things needing to be resolved.  One day at a time, one moment at a time is manageable.  I like that!

Proverbs 17:22 says "a merry heart does good, like medicine."  I've tried to keep a merry heart in the middle of the breakdowns.  A sense of humor, a positive attitude, and faith in the Lord's help can get me through the most challenging situations.  It's a winning combo.

I saw a slogan  - "He who laughs, lasts."  I'm laughing and still standing!!
