FEEL THE FEAR, BUT.... DEC. 8, 2019

SHALOM DEAR READERS:

WOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES, OR A MONTH, OR A YEAR IN OUR PRECIOUS LIVES.

OUR TOPIC THIS MONTH:
'FEEL THE FEAR, BUT DO IT ANYWAYS!'

YEARS AGO, I READ A BOOK BY SUSAN JEFFERS, 'FEEL THE FEAR, BUT DO IT ANYWAYS.'  IT HAS CARRIED ME ALL THESE YEARS, AND THROUGH EVERY STRUGGLE THAT I MEET BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY,

LIFE BRINGS ITS UPS AND DOWNS. AND THOSE OF US WHO ARE USING THIS BLOG, ARE MEETING WITH DOWNS, ALTHOUGH HOPEFULLY WITH SOME GOOD MOMENTS. YES, IT IS O'KAY TO FEEL AFRAID, VERY MUCH SO. BUT.....DO WE JUST SIT THERE/LIE THERE AND MOAN AND WAIL, (YES, SOMEWHAT). BUT THEN WE MUST PICK OURSELVES UP AND DO WHAT IS NECESSARY. LETT HEM GIVE US CHEMO, SHOTS, TREATMENTS, WITH THE ETERNAL HOPE THAT WE WILL COME THRU.

 AS WE ALL KNOW, WE ARE ON THE TRAIN OF LIFE. PEOPLE ARE GETTING ON THE TRAIN AND GETTING OFF, WHEN THEIR TIME IS UP. BUT WE DON'T WANT TO GET OFF THE TRAIN NOW AND NOT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SO ...... LET'S DO WHAT IS NEEDED TO DO. ACCEPT THE TREATMENTS, THE PAIN, THE INCONVENIENCE, AND DO WHAT WE MUST TO HELP OURSELVES. 

'IF I AM NOT FOR MYSELF, WHO WILL BE?' A FAMOUS HEBREW SAYING,  THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES IS AS IMPORTANT AS US HELPING OTHERS!

MY WISH FOR ALL OF US THIS WINTER MONTH OF DECEMBER IS THAT FIND WAYS TO SAY THANK YOU FOR WHAT GOOD WE DO HAVE, AND TO REPEAT OUR PRAYERS OF GRATITUDE OFTEN!

WITH MY BEST WISHES ALWAYS,
CHW
