Today was definitely a day of the Lord and of evil messing.
My body with the nerve damage has become a human barometer and was screaming in pain when I woke up this morning after only about three hours sleep because another winter storm is coming in.
This make it very hard to be kind to anyone especially with these pain levels you become very self absorbed in the pain and your own coping skills. This all means anyone who distracts you is a frustrating distraction that wears on what little patients you have.
Today was not different except my mother was in a tenative state of mind from her Alzheimers. She was picking at me because she was confused and trying to orientate herself. At first I was impatient which was stressing not only myself but I noticed was stressing her and creating even more uncertainty and confusion.
It got so thick that you could almost feel the evil messing with us both in how each of us was dealing with the situation.
I stepped back, ask for help in dealing with the situation and coping with the pain. Instead of reacting negative to my mothers picking, I began joking with her about it and before long she was laughing, less stressed and no where near as confused as she was. As for myself I was a lot less stressed which help me cope better with the pain levels.
It really pays to step back, get silent, ask for help from the Lord. But most of all it helps to listen to what He is answering you in return. Evil tried, but praise God for always standing by your side.
