So Saturday I thought my battery in my car had died. I had gone to a few of the grands soccer games and then before heading home I took Ivy to Swigs to get a drink and some cookies. Ivy had won some free coupons for Swigs and so I was more than happy to take her, since I really like a little treat from there every now and then. I got back in my car to go and turned the switch and absolutely nothing happened. No click, no noise, just nothing. I called Larry and since he wasn't able to leave work I called his dad. (times like this I'm so glad we still have gramps...and I miss my dad more) Anyway, while he was coming I decided to pop the hood so that others would know why I was saving the spot next to me. While I had the hood open I looked at the battery. One of the knobs had a cover and when I lifted it up I noticed that a cable wasn't all the way down over the battery like it probably should be. When dad got there he noticed that too and said that might just be the problem...it was! I didn't need jumped...the cable just needed to be pressed down and tightened.
I got thinking.....Life is like the battery sometimes. We feel empty and dead inside. We might even question are purpose in life and think that there isn't any. I was talking with a family member who thought just that. I couldn't believe this person felt that way since. They have so much going for them....is good at so many things.....attracts people like a magnet.....is such a hard worker....the envy of many! I felt sad for this person and thought "their cable needs tightened". Satan is good at slowly loosening our cables and making us think we are worthless. The dude is a jerk! Look around and start counting your blessings when you start feeling this way. Plan things in your life if you aren't having fun. You are the one that makes it fun...it really is up to each of us and not others to do that for us. It's going to happen....your cable is going to jiggle a bit and you are going to notice it. Don't quit but rather tighten the cable or ask someone to help you tighten it back on. Being Grateful and Counting our Blessings energizes our own batteries...serving others gives it a good jump too. Your choice though....it's always up to us individually with the Help of the Lord (never forget to ask Him for help) to keep our batteries full and charged.
