This cane!

Some days it’s a bother but some days it’s a blessing.

It’s a bother in familiar territory like when I am at home. It’s a blessing on uneven ground or going up and down the steps.

It’s a bother when I am running late and it slows me down even more.  It’s a blessing when I’m tired or when I’m trying to get out of the car.

It’s a bother to run to seemingly endless doctor visits and therapy. It’s a blessing when I see they are all trying to work together for my good.

Well, is it a bother or a blessing?

It’s all a matter of perspective. I pray that during this season of my life I will have a perspective that is pleasing to God, one of hope, joy and thankfulness.  A perspective that trusts in His goodness even when I don’t understand.

Proverbs 3:5-6   New Living Translation (NLT)

⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
    do not depend on your own understanding.
⁶ Seek His will in all you do,
    and He will show you which path to take.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18   New American Standard Bible (NASB)

¹⁶ Rejoice always; ¹⁷ pray without ceasing; ¹⁸ in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
