feeling down

As I was praying this morning, I told God, I am feeling down. I'm not sure why I said , but as I thought about it, I'm sure it is because of yesterdays accident. I was going to read in the Bible and I thought I was turning to I Corinthians but I had turned to II Corinthians the 12th chapter. My eyes hadn't totally focused. In the 9th verse "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." I know we are to give thanks in all things, but it seems ridiculous to try and find something good in the bad that happens.  Yesterdays accident and that is all it was, just an accident. God strength is there for us when we are weak.  We don't have to understand everything and I don't. This year is not starting off very well. the other weekend, the oven element went out and then the pipe was leaking on Sunday morning when I got up. I heard water running in the middle of the night. Then I get that temporarily fixed and the dryer quit heating. All were minor things and easily fixed. And now I banged up the back of the pickup and the front side of the shed. But I could have made the same error some place besides home and hit someone else or somebody else's property. I am thankful that it was at home where this accident happened. God's grace is sufficient when we go thru things. It is still minor thing, just a tail gate and hinges. It is drivable, I haven't lost the use of a vehicle. God's grace is sufficient for all we go thru. And we all do go thru things, every day is not going to be a good day. Would we appreciate the good days if every day was perfect. Yesterday was 65 degrees, just a beautiful day, and I appreciated the sunshine in spite of the accident. If it was anyone else I'd say it was just an accident. God bless, LVZ.
