Sometimes You Just Gotta Say "Oh Well!"

True...we are called to be responsible, to be good stewards, to love one another....things we all know.

Sometimes we get confused that this means we are called to have everything perfect, all the time.  This is not true!

When little things you had hoped for don't go as you had planned, sometimes you just need to say "oh well!"  Then focus on the fact that you have faith in God and ALL things are under his control.  

We tend to let petty cares and frustrations accumulate and they use up all our energies to deal with life.  When serious problems come along - and sometimes in life they just do, all your mental reserves to deal with things will be gone if you've never let go of the frustrations of petty things.  

Focus on what really matters in life - your faith in God.  Walk with lighter steps, be happy for all the things that are right. Focus on the fact that you can cast all your burdens onto Jesus. 

Momentary disappointments and frustrations are just that - momentary.  Most of them really don't mean much in the big scheme of life. Your faith in God is eternal!

Psalm 55:22 Pile your troubles on God's shoulders - he'll carry your load, he'll help you out.  He'll never let good people topple into ruin.
