Thankful Thursday

I have been having some computer woes for a few weeks.  The poor little laptop was doing funny things…running very slow and freezing up a lot.   I could have done the PCmatic commercial!   In an attempt to fix my issues, I somehow pretty much killed the thing.  So Wally took it in for me to get a diagnosis.  They ran their tests. I am pretty sure I was doing a “system resume” but they said I erased the hard drive. Really?  How does one do that?  Anyway, my “stuff” was all gone!  And I really like my “stuff”. 

Yesterday Wally picked up the laptop for me and I am trying to get all the “stuff” put back.  I will now skip the ad for PCMatic and do one for Carbonite.  I am so thankful to have Carbonite which saves all my good “stuff” and keeps it safe.  I am also thankful for Andrea who tells me how to run Carbointe’s Restore program.  She helped me get my pictures back.  That is the big thing.  So yes, I am very thankful this week.

On Tuesday as I was reading my Bible and feeling kind of defeated in a lot of areas if my life, I read a familiar Psalm.  Psalm 23.  The first little phrase of verse three just jumped off the page, “He restoreth my soul;”  Maybe the computer issues had my mind thinking this way already, but I needed a “systems restore” action in my heart.  Maybe I even needed to erase that old hard drive that told me I was defeated and kept me running slow.  Oh my goodness, how encouraged I felt.  Truly my soul was restored!    There’s even a program that allows that action to to keep taking place…just simple time in the Word and in prayer with my Lord.  For that I am really, very thankful!
