You are stronger than you think
Anna finally moved into a retirement village. She hung on to her home as long a she could. Her one son tried to take care of her needs but it was becoming very difficult since he had no one to help him on a regular basis.
Anna never wanted to live in a retirement village. She wanted to keep HER house. She wallowed the pros and cons around in her mind and finally decided that it would be more beneficial for everyone concerned if she would make the change and move into a very nice retirement center. All her needs would be met and her son felt that she was much safer. She would also be able to interact with other people because she wasn't disabled.
Making the decision was difficult, but Anna was stronger than she ever thought she would be. This was BIG decision. She said, "You have to do what you have to do." That statement holds true in many scenarios in life. You can genuinely do what's necessary and for the best if you make up your mind to do so. You are truly stronger than you thought.
Everyone has crucial decisions they must make, but never say, "I can never do that." Just use good judgment and try to do what you know is best. You can meet any challenge if you convince yourself that you can. It's a mind-set. You can if you think you can. Draw on your higher power to assist you and never allow yourself to become depressed over making a change that you feel you need to make.
Remember the Scripture. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me--and you can.
What is the hardest decision you've ever had to make. Comment and share your story.
God Bless,
