Hi from the Fat man and some deep thoughts

Greetings

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Today I was thinking of experiences that can overwhelm us. A father relates a story of his daughter having an accident that overwhelms the whole family for over a year while she recovers. We can have something go wrong in our body that takes all our energy to cope and at times overwhelms us. In Ecclesiastes 3 there are 24 human experiences which can over whelm us. Think of a time when the emotion of romantic love put you on top of the world, or a break up that sent you into a blue funk. With teens emotions can send them on a roller coaster ride almost daily. Experiences can can be difficult and at times out of control but most of these experiences we survive and looking back give us the stuff of who we are.

Our experiences can be out of control, but there is One we can turn to that is in control of all things. An experience of birth and an experience of death; an experience of love and an experience of hate; an experience of searching and an experience of moving on from a loss are examples we all have been over whelmed with. Think of the uncontrolled experience of war that can take so much life and a time of peace, but we can learn to live with eternity in our hearts and through our experiences learn to walk with God.

I think there is alot to think about when we think of experiences that overwhelm us and they do from time to time. It is unavoidable and we have to live through them. Some of them may not be understood or acceptable like abuse or evil. We have our limits. I have found ideas that lead to better health, but there are always new challenges and experiences that put us to the test.

Walking has built in benefits, it is something we can do in the midst of most experiences. I think we need faith as well. What do you think? Keep walking
