Are You Getting "Flicked" as much as I am?

Fellow team members,

I just have to ask: Are you getting flicked as much as I am?

You know what flicking is. The tap upside the head that does not hurt, but it is certainly irritating.

These days my head is sore from Spiritual flicking.

It usually occurs when I am walking along minding my own business (yes, I do that from time to time). I will be bopping along, maybe into the kitchen, and there will be a whole sink of dirty dishes. FLICK - have I not told the boys umpteen times to have the kitchen clean before we leave for school?

Feet stick to floor - FLICK - have I not told them cleaning the kitchen means including the floor? at least ONCE a week?

Pool turns green - FLICK - did I not just clean the filter?

Grocery store clerk is unbelievably rude at the checkout - FLICK.

Groceries are more than expected - FLICK.

Doctor's bills are more than expected- FLICK.

Gas is way more than expected - FLICK.

Tripped going up stairs at work - FLICK.

After a while, your head gets sore from all the flicking and you only have three choices.

Evade - just put your head in a bag and ignore everything.

Endure-plod on through and hope no permanent damage is done.

Embrace - wooohooo!

You might know what Evading and Enduring looks like, but what does Embrace look like?

Praise God, Kids are well enough to eat and run instead of stand around and do dishes - FLICK BACK!
Praise God, I live in a home with a floor - FLICK BACK!
Praise God, I never dreamed God would provide me with a home that has a Pool! FLICK BACK!
Praise God, I get to smile with the love of Christ and really confuse the clerk! FLICK BACK!
Praise God for my husband's job and healthy boys who eat! FLICK BACK!
Praise God, those doctor visits were to find out how healthy we are! FLICK BACK!
Praise God, I have a car which gets great mileage with the gas I put in it! FLICK BACK!
Praise God, I have a job, and double praise God I did not fall going down and end up on my face!!!FLICK BACK!

So, as we face the final stretch to Send Off - let's run the race well, keep life in perspective and know if Satan is upset, we must be in God's will. Otherwise, he would leave us alone.

Press On Ladies, Press on!

Just call me Flicker-
