I am still struggling with this lung infection. I can feel my body healing, but it has been a month of having bronchitis and I am weary. I like the devotional below because it confronts me with how will I handle this. I can choose acceptance or bitterness toward God about the weak body I have. The choice is mine. What attitude will I choose. I am grateful for so many things in my life. I am praying that God will give me strength to walk the road I am on.
Blessings,
Tammy

Spiritual Choices by Henri Nouwen
Choices. Choices make the difference.
Two people are in the same accident and severely wounded. They did not choose to be in the accident. It happened to them. But one of them chose to live the experience in bitterness, the other in gratitude.
These choices radically influenced their lives and the lives of their families and friends. We have very little control over what happens in our lives, but we have a lot of control over how we integrate and remember what happens.
It is precisely these spiritual choices that determine whether we live our lives with dignity.

First of all, I want to say that I hope you feel better soon. I admire your determination in strenghtening your faith. I want to have that faith, will, strength, etc. I am tired- as are you -yet you persevere. Keep writing. One of these days I will follow your lead in following God as I should .
Tammy, this is a great post. Thank you for sharing. Blessings and hugs.
