Hey, everyone!
Hope your day is just going awesomely!
And if your day started out a little “bumpy”, I want to share with you a little tip that can help your life be just a weeeeeee bit smoother!
So my day started off a little bumpy.
Well, actually it was a little bloody, not bumpy.
A little tiny teenie cut.
On my finger. It was so small I didn’t even know how I did it.
Lots of blood tho’!! Like it wouldn’t quit! Completely disproportionate and inappropriate!
Y’know how bandaids never really stick much anymore?
I’m always looking for one that just has that stickiness that convinces you!
I’m looking for the bandaid that says, “I ain’t coming off this scratch EVER ’til you absolutely MAKE ME!!!”
(Is it just me, or do y’all struggle with today’s bandaid floppiness?)
Anyhow, I found one that sticks AMAZINGLY!!! SO STICKY!!
The “Frozen” "Bandaid" brand bandaid!
I guess we got 'em for the grandkids but...
I’m tellin’ ya! It sticks soooo much to your skin!!
They’re awesome!!
Complete with Anna ’n Elsa!
It really takes a LOT for it to “let it go”!
I’m totally serious. They’re awesome.
And while we’re on the subject of tips to make your day go smoother…
here’s a HUUUUUGE secret for making your day, not just a teenie weenie bit better, but waaaaaayyyyyyy better!! I read it just this morning!
Gospel of Luke…chapter 17…verse 16…
Ten lepers…
hopeless…
helpless…
A call to Jesus from across the road…
He speaks a word and all are healed!!
They jump for joy and run for home!
Except for one…
He looked at his hands…
felt his new face…
turned around…
met the eyes of the One Who changed him..
ran…
and fell…
at His beautiful feet…
thanking Him!!
And Jesus said, “Your faith has healed you! Go in peace!”
“But I thought they were all healed?”
Sure!
On the outside.
But he got an extra healing of the inside!
Healing from the bitterness and the disappointment of years of isolation and rejection…
Healing from the anxiety and fear that something bad might happen again…
“What did it?!”
Thanks! Thanking Jesus!
A heart filled up with thankfulness is freed of many awful things as quickly as it fills!
A heart daily full of thankfulness to Jesus is the healthiest heart of all!
“So how does that work?” someone might wonder…
I imagine I was that leper…
Because…in a way…I was.
(Except I didn’t catch it from anyone. I gave it to myself!)
Can you imagine that? Give it a try…
Let’s see…
I was ugly, unclean, unwanted and unable…
And there He was!
Powerful, perfect, pure…
With a word and with all His blood, He changed everything for me!!
So everyday I thank Him!
I thank Him that…
I had no right to expect anything good! But now I’m new! “Good bye, bitterness!!”
I deserved for things to go so much worse for me…But they didn’t! “See you, disappointment!!”
Before, I was alone and banished! Now I follow One Who totally cares for me! “So long, anxieties!”
“Thankfulness does all that?”
Yup!
If I forget to thank Him, I forget many other things besides.
(Things I need to remember.)
Thanks…a big secret to a better day!
If you have a hurt, try thanks!
If you have a scratch, try the “Frozen” Bandaids with Elsa and Anna!
I’m serious.
They’re awesome.
