How do you pick yourself up when you have taken a little trip to the land of despair? I've hit a few bumps in the road the last couple of weeks, and have been trying to find a way to "reset" my brain. Do you have a favorite saying or scripture? Prayer or song? For example, I'm trying to use "Love is patient, love is kind" to reset myself when I'm losing my patience with the girls over something. It's just a little trigger to remind me to step back and take a deep breath. But I haven't been able to find the same kind of thing to pull me up when I get a little down. I'd love to hear what works for you.
Blessing for a wonderful Monday!

OUR FAMILY: est. 2002
About Me
- Stina
- Northern Virginia
- Having traded in my own pair of combat boots for our first pair of baby booties, my husband still laces up his boots daily for Uncle Sam while I manage our troupe of dancers at home. Home is where the Air Force sends us, but we pray that our final assignment is in Heaven.
U.S. Air Force Hymn
Lord, guard and guide the men who fly
Through the great spaces of
the sky;
Be with them traversing the air
In darkening storms or sunshine
fair.
Aloft in solitudes of space,
Uphold them with Thy
saving grace.
Oh God, protect the men who fly
Through lonely ways beneath
the sky.
Through the great spaces of
the sky;
Be with them traversing the air
In darkening storms or sunshine
fair.
Aloft in solitudes of space,
Uphold them with Thy
saving grace.
Oh God, protect the men who fly
Through lonely ways beneath
the sky.

ReplyDeletePlease tell me you didn't give up chocolate for Lent.
ReplyDeleteLike you using the love passage, I've been trying to use "A gentle answer turns anger away" Prov 15:1... for despair? Chocolate, popcorn, German pancakes... not the best answer... talk it out with my husband? oh! For me, when I'm done, I've learned what I MUST do is a craft. Somehow, taking that time out to use my skills for something fun, and alone, is just what I need. ((((hugs))) and prayers.
