[/i][/move] Easy Does It
Strain and struggle abound when we try to do everything
ourselves, our way. We want positive change to occur
immediately and expect miracles to happen according to our
personal timetable. We sometimes feel that if our Higher Power is
guiding us, we should be able to accomplish great and marvelous
things constantly.
To remember "easy does it" is to humbly realize that we are not
all-powerful and that God does not expect us to be all things to all
people. Growth is slow, time belongs to God, and change will
occur according to His plan. If we do the jobs we have been given
for this 24-hour period, our Higher Power will take care of
tomorrow.
How much more agreeable life is when we do not overextend
ourselves but admit our weakness and trust God to take care of us.
We do not shirk our share, but we do not try to carry the whole
load. Only our Higher Power is strong enough to do that.
Take from our lives the strain and stress.
