Worry Wart

Why sit and worry over things, That seem to happen daily; Little things that come and go, That just annoy us, really? Why get angry over certain things, That those around us do; 'Cause people make mistakes sometimes, And life's too short to stew, O'er things that sometimes come about, Without a soul to blame, 'Cept Happen-stance and Circumstance, For want of other names. To fume and worry constantly, Makes mind and body sicken. It doesn't solve a single thing. It takes the joy from livin'; For God has deemed that rain will fall, On fair and foul alike, And what can grow without the rain, As well as warm sunlight; So take the rain and praise the Lord, For sunlight and for showers, And thank Him every day that dawns, For blessings He's made ours. "BUT I SAY TO YOU, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU AND PRAY FOR THEM THAT DESPITEFULLY USE YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU; THAT YE MAY BE THE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN; FOR HE MAKETH HIS SUN TO SHINE ON THE EVIL AND THE GOOD, AND SENDETH RAIN ON THE JUST AND ON THE UNJUST." Matthew 5:44-45 In other words be grateful what you have and don't sweat the small stuff. Everybody has problems, you ain't unique.

So special Judy, I need to have this in front of me when those sleepless nights grab hold. Seems it's part of the human condition and you are right in what you say here. Luv, Lizzie
