FALLING

"In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." ~ John16:33 ~


Oh my . . . Oh no . . . They fell!


Long time ago, Jack and Jill had a great fall. And the story of those two stopped there.


Last week, Dancing With The Stars contestants, Kirstie Alley and her partner Maksim, had just begun their dance routine when they fell to the floor.


But they didn't stop there. The couple quickly regained their poise and displayed an unforgettable example of falling and gracefully getting back up.


If anyone can identity with the stress of falling, stress-survivors can.


Oh, yes, we do fall. Sometimes hard. Most times unexpectedly. And each unfortunate incident brings about mega-anxiety and stress.


Falling, time after time, has taught stress-survivors to focus not so much on the fall, but much more so on what we to do after the fall.


When stress-survivors fall down, we get up . . . and look up . . . and pray up.


Make no mistake, overcoming can be challenging; but with God's grace, we can overcome every obstacle and every fall; then move on and live life to the fullest.



Peace I leave with you . . .
