Realism is typically thought of as the realm of intellect, but we have the mind of Christ to inform our emotions. You are so right about learning about what frightens us. It really puts things into perspective, or as you eloquently say, "But so many of the little things we worry about are just not worth the emotional output."sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037837213410875652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540554423431933524.post-1089454354293271192011-05-07T10:23:59.835-05:002011-05-07T10:23:59.835-05:00Lisa, it is sometimes hard to remember that He eve...Lisa, it is sometimes hard to remember that He even has our children's best interests at heart, isn't it? We know it, yet emotionally, we are so attached to their well-being we hold tightly to the outcome.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908893849922049697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540554423431933524.post-44674687890649351712011-05-06T17:43:49.480-05:002011-05-06T17:43:49.480-05:00I agree with Lisa, this is excellent!

But she just advised me to stop worrying. :-) <br /><br />I'm really striving this year to lay my worries at Jesus' feet. And praise him for the way he's taking care of me!Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.com
