Cast all your cares on Him, because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
76° outside, and I was sweating in the stale air of the kitchen, over a sink full of dirty dishes. Trying to get some things cleaned up, kids dressed in team spirit gear, game snacks packed, weight of the world bearing down on my sweaty shoulders. Why is it so hot in here?!
Then I looked up.
Duh. Turn the ceiling fan on.
Immediate relief in something as simple as a switch.
It has to give God a chuckle. How often do I remain unnecessarily uncomfortable, locked in my own fears, worries, task list…. before I seek His simple, obvious solution?
Look up!

Oh, so true! Thanks for this reminder. It is all to often the case. And you’re right- I bet God gets a grand old chuckle out of us!
Yep. I’m right there with you girl. I was wondering why I was getting sweaty today and suddenly realized I hadn’t opened any windows! You are sooo right. I stay fretting in my worries and forget to look up to Him all too often.
Great reminder. Thank you.
Thanks for your bright, positive attitude. I’m looking up, now!
Great reminder! Today I drove by a sign that said:
The struggle ends with surrender.
I thought how true that is, and a lesson I need to apply!
How timely a reminder. It is often the simple solutions that we overlook..
That’s funny…I do that all the time:-)
What a great metaphor and beautifully written.
So true! Thanks for sharing this reminder!
What a simple idea, but how very, very true! Love it!
What a wonderful post-great story and great reminder! Thank you.
on one of the local radio stations, as the DJs are signing off they say “Keep Looking Up, Cuz That’s Where It All Is!” …so true. i remind myself of this often in a spiritual sense, and i also use it when my daughter is in the bath and i need her to literally LOOK UP so i can rinse the shampoo out
keep looking up, ‘cuz that’s where it all is! WFM, too!
Heh…
Sometimes it is the simple things isn’t it? Love the way you started off with the Bible verse.
This is wonderful! I am so glad that I found your blog.
Blessings,
Janie
I have had to be reminded of this so many times. God is so good!
