"Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day." 2 Corinthians 4:16
Stop Trying to figure it all out.
Depending on your childhood and your genetic make up, each of us absorbs mannerisms and coping skills from those near and dear to us. My personal experience created me into a person who likes to solve and fix things. I also learned from my mother, to be a caretaker. What about you? In our home lives growing up, we have hundreds of experiences every day, repeat it through every week, as well as this first years of our lives. this is the foundation of who you are as a person, how you think things out, and how you respond to the people and situations around you.
As you mature, and go out into the world, you have become an established force of nature. It would be the nature of what surrounded you growing. Are you a kind person? Are you an impatient person? Is life all about you and what you need, or are you someone sensitive to the needs to others? No matter which type personality you start out with, things will change in your life, and you will begin to adapt and soften and grow with all your experiences. Sort of reminds me of that baseball glove that my youngest son had and it was brand new. Teach a five-year-old how to catch a baseball with a brand new glove, it’s difficult. It’s only through use the leather in the glove will soften and actually become stronger and adaptable. Maybe that means there’s hope for all of us. We need to hang in there this year in 2024, and love beyond our own needs. When you stay focused on yourself, your outlook to others changes. My grandmother told me at a young age, true happiness is only found in doing for others. When you’re actually involved with people, and not focused on yourself, you find contentment and happiness. No longer are you wasting time trying to figure out your own life, trying to solve your own problems, and making it all about yourself. Life is just not that way. God placed us here on earth to be a part of life. I like the phrase, living and giving! Also… Love beyond your own needs!
I hope you enjoyed the wolf painting I shared this morning. It was painted about 12 years ago when we lived out at Lake Cypress Springs. I continue to Heal from an arm injury, involving my rotator cuff on my right arm. It has slowed me down quite a bit from Painting or using a computer, or cleaning house…. Or even cooking.
Blogging by microphone is a new experience. Go out this year, 2024 and make it a new experience.
