Is it worth it?

Today as I was making the bed funny thing happened. Well not really funny but kind of. I do this tricky thing of pinning the fitted sheet to the mattress. I know, I know. It is fitted right? well It is a king size sheet on a queen mattress. Don't even go there! I do that so that it stays on the mattress and does not wad up.
So, as I was doing my thing, I dropped one of the pins and it fell way down under the bed at the head of the bed. To reach it I would have had to bend down, crawl up the head of the bed on the floor( with the dust bunnies) and grab it.
I said to myself - out loud- 'It will just have to stay there. It is not worth it to put my back out when I have lots more.'
Just as the words left my mouth, God spoke in my mind,
'I will never say that to any lost one who cries out to me. I will come down, I did bend down, come down ,reach down. That is the whole point of the cross. You have about much worth as a tiny safety pin but I will give you value by my salvation, my love and my daily work in your life. Count on it. Rest in it.'

New song

So I guess that my' cancer' vacation is over. ( see carepages.com/ journeywithjon)
Back to posting my thoughts.
On my walk today I was thinking about Psalm 33 which says that God gave me a new song. What song???
Then it hit me.
My old song( which comes back to mind all too often) was " I did it my way"
My new song is " your my master, your my owner and I love serving you".
It is no longer about me, but about God and His glory.
