I was having a frustrating day last Friday and I was in a hurry and everything was going wrong. The faster I tried to go the more frustrated I got. I was driving on the freeway and people were cutting me off or pulling in front of me and slowing down, I was becoming a nervous wreck. I finally just said to myself…this is ridiculous, you are getting frustrated over petty little things. What if you had some real problems to worry about! It was a good wake up call to myself! There are bad things going on all around us, but yet there are so many more good things, if we will just keep our focus on the positive.
Then on Sunday at church we had a lesson on trials and there were a lot of different comments about how we handle our trials. There are several ladies in our neighborhood that are going through some pretty tough trials right now and one of them made the comment about how she had this saying right by her bed and one day her daughter came in when she was having a teary moment and through her tears, she said to her daughter that she could not do hard things. Her daughter replied, “Yes you can, they may just be through some tears, but you can do hard things, mom.” That really touched my heart and I have thought about that many times this week.
It is all in our attitude!
So my thought for this week is the saying that my neighbor has by her bed:
I need to print this out and frame it so I can have a good reminder! I have so many great examples all of around me of people that are doing hard things. I am so proud of them and I appreciate their strength and examples.
If you would like to print this, right click over image and go to “save image as” then save in a folder. It is formatted for an 8 x 10 picture. You can send it to your favorite photo processing center or print your own!
I think that I will look for a fun frame to put this one in!
Have a great day today and remember that
You Can Do Hard Things! Love Ya!
Please keep in touch…like and share on facebook and visit me on pinterest!
Thank you – I needed this inspiration this morning!
You are welcome. I hope that you can press through your hard things today.
Hugs, Rita
I live by this sentiment but never thought to do a graphic. I will definitely be printing out yours!
I hope you don’t mind if I share this on my blog (with full credit to you) which focuses on fighting cancer through passion and attitude.
