I want to be a duck



Good Morning!  I was reading soneone's blog about how the birds greet the day.  They are out there right now singing away.  Where did I lose that gratefulness for a new day?  I wake up with all I have to accomplish on my mind.  It is a beautiful day out there.  It will be 75 and sunny today.  I sit here and think, the garden , the lawn, hay needs to be cut, hay elevator needs to be moved, oil needs to be changed, and oh the blueberries that need to be picked.  This is no way to greet the day. 



   Lord, help me to appreciate all you have given and to have peace that all things will get done.  Give me the assurance that I can do these things with your help and need not worry about them.  Help me to think of others and how You would have me bless them.


My life is good, but  I have become a worrier.  It's been a slow process, but a constant one.  God has never failed me.  Why do I think He will today?Stop worrying. I used to have people get annoyed with me because I didn't worry enough.  They said  everything just seemed to roll off of my back, like water rolls off of a duck.  Now I'm more like a sponge.    I want to be a duck again.
