Lent Day #22

A sampling of today's lesson includes Jn 18:37-38. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. We must always remember this. Even when we are challenged or discouraged, we must gravitate toward Jesus and his beliefs.

Today was an extremely challenging day. Mother Nature's snow machine never stopped. A disadvantage for those of us who had early morning obligations. Quite harrowing at one point. There is absolutely no way I could shovel our yard in time to get to our appointment. I felt as if I was going to have a heart attack or keel over. We do have a plow guy, but he plowed the grounds of a school that cancelled today instead of the customers that needed to get out of their driveways.

From the getgo, I could tell I was going to be challenged time and time again by the elements, the lack of common sense by many, and my own mental as well as physical weaknesses.

I was right. Nothing made sense today. From the early phone calls to the actions of others to almost giving up because I was too fatigued to solve everyone's problems (or at least it seemed like everyone was placing their problems in my lap).

I must keep remembering that God puts challenges in our paths to make us stronger. He never gives us anything we can not handle. It's hard to believe, at times, but I (we) must in order to keep going and continue being disciples sent out to spread the good news.
