Keep Your Chin Up!
Life can be both challenging and frustrating at times, especially when you are emotionally and spiritually drained.
People and circumstances sometimes have a way of “sucking the life” out of you. And let’s not forget the enemy who loves to kick us while we are down.
Loving family and good friends can help during these times. This was true of my good friend, Wayne, who has gone to be with the Lord. Wayne was a big burley guy with a tender heart as big as Texas.
He was perhaps the funniest man I’ve ever met. Always jolly; always caring about family and friends. Everyone loved them. Whenever he walked into a room, people gravitated toward his warm, caring personality. He had an extraordinary talent for “reading” people and their needs.
Whenever I was down or feeling blue, I could always count on my ole pal, Wayne, for encouragement. He would say, “Mike, keep your chin up. Everything will be alright.”
Stand up tall, lift up your chin, and look unto Jesus. Take the apostle’s Peter’s advice and “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you (I Peter 5:7,NIV).”
