Trying to find the blessings
Posted in Daily Musings

Today I am sooooooooo exhausted - yesterday we were helping our friends with packing and moving. It was a wonderful day and I learned a lot from our discussions that we had. The down side was that with all the packing, dust was kicked up and by the end of the day it was really affecting my asthma. This morning I was sooooooo tired when I got up, really didn't want to get out of bed at all - this is normal for me the day after my asthma has flared up. I've been sitting here trying to find the blessing(s) in having asthma and I have to admit that it's been really hard to see the "positive" of it. Don't get me wrong, I know that God doesn't make mistakes, so in my mind there must have been a reason for me having this ..... finding the negatives to this disease is a lot easier than positives and I could list a bunch of them but for those that have asthma, you've probably heard them (or listed them) before. I did think of a few blessings: it makes me slow down my life, I actually have to take time and smell the roses (so to speak) .... whether I want to or not, lol. It helps me to ask others for help and gets me out of the "I'm the only one who can do it" mindset (if only for a little while). I guess one major blessing is that it helps my kids learn to serve others, there are just some things that I physically can not do after I have had an attack and the kids are more than willing to help me out during this time. So, thinking back on these things, I guess there really are some wonderful blessings to having this disease - I just have to make sure that I look for them during these times.  |
