On computer viruses and bad attitudes

I’m more than ready for a new week. Last week was one of those weeks that seemed to go from bad to worse. There are a couple of situations in my extended family that are a great concern to me and there seems to be nothing I can do. It’s hard some days to watch from the sidelines when you don’t really like the way the game is played.

 

I also had one of those moments when a few casual comments made by someone I care aboutcaused me to do a bit of self-examination and perspective checking. Usually, that’s a good thing for me, but for some reason, this time it threw me into a bit of an emotional tizzy.  In the middle of all that, my computer picked up some nasty malware and wouldn’t let me connect to the internet. With the help of my anti-virus software and spybot checker, I thought I fixed the problem.  I signed on to my email with no problem. I could access AIM as well. I felt pretty positive and clicked on Internet Explorer only to have nothing happen. Then, my email shut down and I could only access AIM. As you all well know, computer problems are incredibly frustrating. Since I am unable to drive and can’t do much more than walk around my neighborhood a little with my white cane, the internet is my daytime connection to the outside world.  I even do much of my Bible reading and preparation for the Thursday night service on the internet.

 

Fortunately, my wonderful friend/IT guy was able to run a few scans with some special IT guy software and get rid of the nasty stuff infecting my computer. It’s so good to be back online.

 

As yesterday unfolded, even though my beloved Eagles lost to the Cardinals in the NFC Championship game, I found myself feeling better.  I was able to do some healthier self-reflection and was reminded by the God who loves me more than I can imagine that I am a work in progress.  He doesn’t wait for me to pull myself together and do it all right – as well as have all the right emotional reactions – but He reaches down to lift me up into His embrace and showers me with His love and grace which are more than enough for all I need.

 

So today I’m thankful for a return to the internet and a chance to do some self examination. I’m grateful for my wonderful friend and all the ways he makes my life easier. I rejoice that even a bad week can be a place to bask in God’s grace and love. To Him be all the glory.

 

Praying that you have a chance to soak in some love and grace today. May you sense God’s presence with you as you do. Sending big hugs to all of you.
