There are things that really tire me out. I could list them but the list would get way too long, and listing them all would make me tired. I will talk about one of those tiring things, though.
Arguing really tires me out. Now, I am not talking about debating; I love to debate. I am known as playing the "devil's advocate". I am not his advocate but I do like to debate. I like the debate just to get people thinking and to have them make me think.
But, we are talking about arguing. Arguing wears me down and out quick, fast, and in a hurry. I can argue with someone for no more than five minutes and if feels as if I have run a mile. The effort expended, physically, emotionally, even spiritually is exhausting. Arguing is definitely one of those things that really tires me out.
Today's word is my paraphrase of an old Yiddish proverb. My paraphrasing is, "Nothing wears me out as much as doing something I do not like."
Have you ever noticed your children getting overly tired while doing homework? It is the middle of the evening, they are usually full of energy, bouncing off walls, but make them sit down and do homework and they are falling asleep as they write. Same goes for us all. Nothing wears us out like doing something we do not like.
We all have things that we just have to do. We all have things that we do not like that we must do. However, let's strive to do more of the things we want to do. Doing this will help us overcome the fatigue of having to do what we do not like.
Be Blessed,
