Count Up the Good By Amanda Idleman Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. – Psalm 103:2 Life can get heavy. We each start our days with a "patience tank," and it seems that as the day goes on, that tank gets depleted down to empty. Sometimes, that tank can hit empty before seven am if you have demanding kids who wake up before the sun rises. Stress depletes our patience and joy. Over time, if we don't get a break from those patience-draining days, we can feel ourselves facing burnout, and then our tank is underfilled before the day even begins. We just can't catch up and find ourselves not being the people we want to be. Instead, we see a frantic, angry, impatient, and very frustrated version of ourselves emerge so much more than we'd like. |
