Have you lost something?


If you are like me, then sometimes you lose things...
Somethings are important and missing.
While others are not so important but plain frustrating when missing.
Today I was upstairs and couldn't find something that has been in the same please for a very long time...and now you guessed it...it is missing! Time to blame the kids... LOL

So what do you do when you have lost something?

Most of us hope we will stay calm and sort it out.
The reality is that if you are kid, you give up in 5 seconds and call out to a parent to find whatever it is.
If you are a little more grown up, you might possibly panic a little?
Or maybe get a bit irritated and frustrated?

Here is some practical advice from Locky today:
1. Stop and breath
2. Think about the last time you saw it, used it and go back there?
3. Is there another 'logical' place it could be?
4. Pray and ask God to help you

Now you may be wondering why this semi practical bit of advice giving?
Here is the angle I am getting to...

Sometimes in life we realise one day we have lost something we used to have.
Maybe it was something you used to do.
Something you used to be like.
Something you used to feel.
Or even someone you used to have relationship with.

When that happens you have a few options.
Can I suggest you do things kind of like you should naturally?
1. Stop and breath
2. Think about the last time you had it, used it and go back there?
3. Is there another 'logical' place you could be to have it again?
4. Pray and ask God to help you
You may need to tweak the wording for your situation but you will get the idea I hope.

If you are reading this and maybe reminded of what you may consider to have lost during life's journey, can I encourage to stop for a moment? Take some valuable time to review things. Decide calmly what you need to do to get whatever it is back in your life again.
And then take some action...

Something to think about...
