A frustrated one.
My house doesn't meet my
Standards, my correspondence
Lags and my quiet time never quite
Measures up.
The result?
Disappointment.
Dejection.
But this morning I confronted myself.
"Dorothy, your house isn't perfect,
But it's presentable.
You put a note in the mailbox, a bit
Late, but is encouragement ever
Late?
And who can even define a perfect
Quiet time?
You spent time with Jesus.
He knows your flaws and yet He
Loves you."
My self-talk altered my perspective.
I have a mental to-do list for today.
But if I complete only one or two
Tasks, I'll remind myself.
"Look at what you did accomplish, not
At what remains undone."
