OLD DOGS

"You can teach an old dog new tricks

With

The right kind of treats."

Cynthia L. Copeland

really important stuff my kids have taught me

Needing comic-relief today. I like this . . . and wonder what kind of treat I need. The last two weeks have been off the chart for this old dog. Red Licorice wouldn't touch it. Coffee, my drug of choice, made me crabby. I found myself dipping into my boss's nun cookie jar for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I don't like peanut butter cups!

Was that the trick I was supposed to learn?

Hmmm. Know what I AM learning? 

A new trick isn't mastered in a day.

Keeping my mouth shut, my schedule and expectations reasonable, and my fears down may take more than a few tries. But, God's Word assures me that . . .

       1. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me  (Philippians)

                               And yet . . .

       2. APART FROM HIM I can do nothing. (John 15)

I have found myself saying over and over, "Jesus I need you. Jesus I need you."

                                                          (I know. I'm here.)
