The poor me syndrome...

scene-1
I double bend to wipe the floor the umpteenth time, clutching my 7 month pregnant tummy. My toddler has yet again spilled something greasy and sticky on the floor."poor me" I think to myself.
scene2
I find it difficult to sleep, a lil nauseated by the heartburn,and I get a leg cramp... I can't  seem to reach my calf muscles as I wither in pain,both my boys, (the big one, is supposed to be up ,relieving my pain , I think)... are sleeping blissfully unaware, I think poor me.
scene3
Inspite of my varicose veins and shortness of breath I mange to cook, clean and tidy up standing for long time span...and yet my big boy unthinkingly finds something to criticize with the cleaning and doesn't comment on my cooking, and the young one makes a mess in less than a quarter of a minute, every 5 mins , all day till he sleeps...and I think to my self poor poor me.
Oh I get it all the time....its so easy to fall into its poisonous arms,to bask in its sadness,and shed a tear or two.But essentially its chronic disease feeding on your time, energy and emotions.

Romans 5:3-5

 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴ perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵ And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Oh....that makes perfect sense.- I think.

Philippians 2:14

 Do everything without grumbling or arguing,

yes ,right...I'll do that... piece of cake!-I think.

Its not so easy to come out of that addictive syndrome,however a little bit hard to shake it off  it is not impossible.Its  like to quit smoking....the temptation is high...to wallow in self pity.."poor me". But you  just have to refuse to take any more of that crap.

Instead offer your little discomforts and sufferings to JESUS...for the filling of millions of people with God's love and Holy spirit and salvation of their souls.That way you are giving Christ your suffering, for a greater cause. Remember this prayer brings about great changes, to you and the whole world.

Next time I'm in physical or mental pain..however big or however petty...its not "poor me"...its "take it Jesus and heal millions going through the same suffering".
