Tuesday’s Musings: Runaway Mouse

Modified and used 8-14-20
I’m not sure what causes this but on my home computer sometimes my mouse cursor gets out of control.  It seems to float across the screen instead of going directly where I’d like it to point.  This is exacerbated by the fact that I have dual monitors.  I have to look all over both monitors to try to find that little arrow and when I move it, the thing flies from one place to another.  The closest I can figure is that it has something to do with the fact that I have a cordless rechargeable mouse because when I place it in the little holder that charges the thing for a while things seem to improve. 

At times we have things in our lives that are like that runaway mouse.  We try to control events, to get things going in what we think is the right direction but instead we’re all over the place.  People don’t return our calls, traffic makes us late, the “check in the mail” doesn’t arrive and we seem to be taking one step forward and two steps back.  Maybe at times like those we need to stop and recharge ourselves by spending some time reading scripture or some devotional material and in prayer.  I love my cordless mouse and the fact I don’t have to replace batteries but I have to remember that it too, needs recharging. Maybe I’ll say a prayer for myself whenever I place it in the charger.


Loving God, it seems when I don’t spend time with you that things don’t seem to go as smoothly as when I’m seeking your power in my life.  Please help us all to remember to tap into this ultimate power source each day.  Help us to keep our life on the straight path.  In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
Have a Good Day,
Paige
