A handful of songs

Image
So often I've found music to be uplifting and soothing, especially when I'm struggling. Awhile ago, I listened to " Better Days Coming " by MercyMe. One of the lyric's verses mentions God's hands, which made the song even more meaningful. So I listened to the song again. Then I decided to search for more "hand" songs. Yes, they're contemporary Christian songs. But if you listen, I think they'll give you strength to keep going. Out Of My Hands , Jeremy Camp.  I Lift My Hands , Chris Tomlin Hands of Jesus , Crowder  Hands Of The Healer , Hope Darst  Your Hands , JJ Heller  In The Hands Of God , Newsboys  Hands , Aaron Cole  Please share if you have any favorite songs that help keep you going. I'd like to hear them. 

Bummed but blessed

I just tried to open a jar of sugar water for the hummingbirds. It twisted wrong and got stuck. I tried again. And again. ARGH. I can't do what I used to be able to do, thanks to Dup. It's stuck, and I can't open it, and my hands hurt, and I'm MAD, and I just want to scream. Because now I have to wait for my husband to get home and help me. Then I remind myself that I have a husband, someone who's there to help me when things like this happen. Many people with this disease don't have anyone like I do. And so, despite these frustrations, I am blessed. I have someone who loves me and is more than willing to fill in when I'm unable to do what I want to do.
