Last Sunday afternoon, I started to
feel a little off. I didn’t want to believe
I was getting sick, but I was. There was
a time, before I married Kira, when I would eat all kinds of rancid things hiding
in the back of my refrigerator. Not
surprisingly, that made me pretty ill from time to time. However, when Kira started bringing home foods
that had not hit their expiration date, most of those problems went away. So I’m not sure what hit me earlier this
week, but it sure knocked me out for about 24 hours. At first, I thought if I could ignore the
problem, it would go away. I tried
hopping on my bike and going for a quick ten mile ride… Surprisingly, this didn’t
help. Instead, I needed was to admit
that I needed help from others. That was
what really got me though.
There are times I can convince myself I
can conquer any problem on my own.
However, there are other moments when reality sets in. I realize I need help. This week we are looking at the Lord’s
Prayer. This prayer plugs us into a
power beyond ourselves. It brings hope,
grace, and peace, and these are things I know I need every day. I hope we can all let go of our own
selfishness and pride and realize it is okay to ask for help.
Blessings!
PB
