It's 7:35 AM....Is it too Early to be Overwhelmed?

Today my husband and I go to Greenwood to pick up my 97-year-old grandma for church, and, as much as I love her, it takes us both to do it. She can hardly walk, and we have to go to the back of the nursing home to get her, sign her out, put her in the car, put her wheel chair back inside the building, and drive us all back to Franklin for church. Once there, we walk her inside (that's a big job -- she cannot see either), sit by the back door in case of a bathroom emergency, etc., etc.

We'll cook dinner and eat at home since she isn't really able to go out, and we pretty much need to cut up her food for her since she can't see it.

We'll clean up dinner, then rest a few minutes. Today, we'll cut that rest a little short because I have to go to the funeral home between 3:00 - 5:00 for my co-worker's grandfather, and we have to pick up the other car we left at my work yesterday. We'll do all that when we take my grandma back to the nursing home in Greenwood this afternoon.

If I could just rest all day, I think I might feel better today...I guess we'll never know!

So, Lord, I'm in need of strength and energy today. Guest reader, if you read this early enough, I could use your prayer support!

I don't know any other way than just straight through it. Tomorrow is my appointment with the Life Wellness Center on the other side of town, then work from 12:30 - 5:30. Tuesday I work from 8:00 - 12:00, then my neurologist appointment on the other side of town at 2:30. Wednesday I work from 12:30 - 5:30 then a hair appointment at 6:00 for cut and color. As much as I need my hair cut, I guess I could cancel that. By the time Wednesday gets here, I may not be able to make it if something doesn't change!

Reminds me of an old song from somewhere back in my life... it never was my favorite, but today, it sure seems appropriate.

Lynda Randle, did you feel this way when you wrote this song?

From "One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus:"

"One day at a time, sweet Jesus,
That's all I'm asking of You.
Just give me the strength to do every day
What I have to do.
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus,
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord, help me today,
Show me the way
One day at a time."
