My Foot… How Trivial

This has been an annoying week at the Minter household.  On Sunday night less than 90 minutes after my wife returned from a 10 day trip, I sprained my ankle in a soccer game.  She returned home needing a break from our 2 girls.  Instead, she had to troop on taking care of them and me.  I have been annoyed at having to move around on crutches….. How Trivial.

Yesterday we did a memorial service for a man in our church who lost his 18 month struggle with cancer.  That story is hard enough to take.  It is compounded that a year ago we did a memorial service for his son who passed away in a auto accident.  That family has seen more suffering than I could bear…. We are praying for you.

I have been reminded not to whine about the trivial stuff but to be thankful for the big stuff.
