Long Days

Today Mom had a doctor's appointment. 

We waited a l-o-n-g time to see the doctor.

That makes mom stress a lot

and that, in turn, makes her blood pressure go up,

but all-in-all she got a good report from the doctor

and for that we are very grateful. 

We talked to a lady in the lobby while we were waiting...

she is recovering from some extensive cancer treatment.

From what she described she's been through a lot.  

You would never have known, though. 

She was so charming and so full of life.

She's grateful to be alive!

Kind of makes me re-evaluate mine...

It is almost 6 o'clock pm and my husband is still not home. 

He's been working on a job since early this morning.

It's a pretty big job and he needs to finish it by Friday. 

So, since he's still working I figured I may as well, too.

I'm back at the books, although I thought this would be a good time to write -

it may not happen if I wait until later.

Why is it that work days seem so long but weekends and vacations pass so quickly?

My husband and I are both weary, I think mostly in our minds. 

We've been feeling that a lot lately. 

Is it because we're getting older and growing weary from the work load,

or is it from all the stress people have to deal with these days?

Maybe it's a combination of both. 

Don't get me wrong, we are grateful for the work, 

we like being able to have a roof over our heads and have electricity

and we really like eating (well, maybe me more than my hubby).

We pray for strength, and for wisdom, and for a better attitude

because we really do have so much to be thankful for.

Anyway, these thoughts are from a weary mind today...

do any of you ever feel that way?

Let us be refreshed in the Word:
