RAE’S READS

Two of my blogging friends have posted very interesting Tuesday Teasers on their sites today, which I enjoyed very much. Thanks Purple Booker for inviting us all to play along.

Choose a sentence or small bit as your teaser, mention the title of the book you are taking  it from (No spoilers, please.) and place this on your blog or here in the comments section.  Here’s mine, like last week from Max Lucado’s Anxious for Nothing:

“No problem is unsolvable.  No life is irredeemable. No one’s fate is sealed.  No one is unloved or unlovable.” This comes from the chapter titled, “Think About What You Think About,” and gives us some positive thoughts that will stop (or keep) us from thinking bad thoughts about ourselves. This week is only three days gone, so far, and I have not “thought about what I think about”, for I have come up against more than one problem that seems unsolvable; my fate seems to be sealed as foot surgery (again) or chronic pain, and I have done some very unlovable things today (just ask My Better Half).  If I had thought before I acted or became “down,” I could see that instead, I could discipline my thoughts, give them up to God.  He would reassure me with Lucado’s sentence above, and I could go on and face tomorrow much easier.

This book is helpful in battling anxiety and worry.  It is restoring my confidence in my Lord and in myself, as well.

    Very wise words… But so much harder to live by when confronted by something like your foot:(. I do hope you manage to find some kind of solution, Rae – sending positive thoughts and prayers in your direction.x
