When Things Are Upside Down 11/10/2024

 Good Morning,

I have a hot cup of Door County Autumn Spice Coffee with me as I write and very soon I will be on the road to hunt some geese. 

2 Corinthians 12:9 But He said to me, " My grace is sufficient for you,  for my power is made perfect in weakness. 



Everyone likes life to be on the upside and steady. We would choose a day without strife, or major changes, and given a choice we probably always would choose the path of least resistance. But as usual a change occurs and turns our world upside down. 

Friends, there are times when things need to be turned upside down for certain things to work better for us. My illustration of hanging my waders upside down to dry better isn't all that powerful but it works. The waders if not dried properly inside (perspiration) and out will soon make the waders smell and rot from the inside out. 

So in order to enact needed change in our personal lives, we might have to turn our lives upside down. Going back to school after many years is an example of a desired change, but it will turn your world upside down as you adjust to an addition to your schedule or changes in your routine. 

Addiction requires stepping out and obtaining the help you need and you probably will have a lot of days that seem upside down until you are cured. 

So when things are upside down and require a change, try to embrace the change and learn more about yourself and your internal fortitude. For my waders, once the drying has taken place they are ready for another round of water, muck and mud. 

There are just certain times that accepting the upside down, is better for us. 

Marty
