| Fainting is always an option, but the person who refuses to allow his week to make him weary will reap God's blessing. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story Between my car, my computer, and my glasses, the week was drenched with out-of-pocket expenses of which I had run out of pockets. To make matters worse, or better depending on your perspective, I had a wedding to perform toward the end of the week. Friday night was the rehearsal and Saturday afternoon at the wedding ceremony. I could possibly do without my car, but all my wedding information and the ceremony were neatly stored on my computer. If worse came to worse, and it probably will, I can always ad-lib a wedding ceremony. I've done so many through the years I probably could do it in my sleep. Whether I can do it awake was another story. Along about Thursday, I was feeling somewhat blue about the whole week. Nothing seemed to go right for me, plus I did not know where I was going to get the money to pay for these unforeseen expenses. The wedding rehearsal on Friday was set for 6:30, and my computer was ready at 6:15. Now, that's cutting the wedding cake rather close. Between the car and computer repairs, I did not know how I would pay for both. Have you ever noticed when everything seems to go wrong, something unexpected happens? While I was bemoaning my unfortunate week, several things happened. One, I received an unexpected check from a magazine publishing some of my articles. Two, I received an honorarium for the wedding—something I wasn't expecting. These two checks covered my unexpected expenses for the week. Third, the hard drive on my computer had a warranty, and I did not have to pay for it. Thinking about my week, a wonderful verse of scripture romped through my mind. "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not" (Galatians 6:9). Fainting is always an option, but the person who refuses to allow his week to make him weary will reap God's blessing. Tweet
