Today is Saturday, November 17th, 2018; Karen's Korner #3920

(Sorry for no Karen's Korner yesterday. My computer has been in the 'computer hospital' pretty much of the week for a check up. The computer guy was at home working on it yesterday when my 'post' time was up, so I missed!)

On November 15, my mom would have celebrated her 100th birthday! She passed away 5 1/2 years ago at 94 plus. As you know enjoy, and many of you have, words from Sarah Young in her "Jesus Calling:  Enjoying Peace in His Presence".

This is what she wrote for November 15. I really liked it:


"Approach problems with a light touch.

When your mind moves toward a problem area,

you tend to focus on that situation so intensely that you lose sight of Me.

You pit yourself against the difficulty as if you had to conquer it immediately.

Your mind gears up for battle, and your body becomes tense and anxious.

Unless you achieve total victory, you feel defeated.


"There is a better way.

When a problem starts to overshadow your thoughts, bring this Matter to Me.

Talk with Me about it and look at it in the Light of My Presence.

This puts some much needed space between you and your concern,

enabling you to see from My perspective.

You will be surprised at the results.

Sometimes you may even laugh at yourself

for being so serious about something so insignificant.


"You will always face trouble in this life.

But more importantly, you will always have Me with you,

helping you to handle whatever you encounter.

Approach problems with a light touch by viewing them

in My revealing Light."

~ Taken from Psalm 89:15; John 16:33
