How to Develop a “Winning” Attitude!
Jesus said: I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.”
Over the course of these years in our lives many things has happened to take the wind out of our sails. There have been many events that have thrown a loop in our lives.
Ten years ago, Donna and myself, faced some devastating events, that rocked the very foundations of our lives.
One major life changing event that happened to my wife, was when she fell at work and developed what they call RSD, (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) .This caused her chronic pain all over her body which made her unable to work anymore. Two years later she was diagnosed with M. S. (Multiple Sclerosis).
Another major event at time was that I resigned as pastor of a church due to my wife’s condition, the church’s future and also for concerns for my own health.
All of these events had an immediate emotional and financial impact on us and our children! I felt so lonely, at loss, very angry and at first paralyzed. I cried and wept for many days and years, deep within my soul asking God, why? Why me? What did I do? Why now? How will we survive?
I will share more tomorrow, because I want to explain to you that we have a great, loving God and with God’s help we can develop a winning attitude and become over comers!
Love, Eddie
