Oh My SOUL....

Sometimes we feel like we have been STOMPED on.... Last week I managed to stab myself in the finger with a shard of glass...mind you not just any finger but my right index ! It swelled up overnight and started to travel down to my hand. Now i know what the saying...sore as a bears paw means ! THROB THROB THROB... SO off to the Doctors i went... After 3 hours in the waiting room with 30 hacking coughing sick people and 3 X- rays , a tetanus shot and a antibiotics shot... prescription in hand i left feeling i had been in a war zone. Needless to say 24 hours later I was hacking coughing and miserable.... My finger is getting better slowly... With all my to do lists GOD has a way of showing you to slow down and rest in him. I have ,this week The Scarlet Thread a book by Francine Rivers has been my rest. Thank Him in all THINGS..... HOPE and RESTORATION....PRAISE HIM...
