Out of Sorts

Funny saying – “Out of Sorts”, what does it mean? Kind of sad? Kind of angry? Kind of miserable? Out of place? Maybe feeling some of all these emotions?

Many years ago, I found a greeting card with a funny little character on the front wearing a very disgruntled face. The greeting read: “I’m not mad, I’m out of sorts.” When you opened the card, the answer was “Please send sorts.” I laugh right out loud whenever I read that card.

I never mailed the card to anyone. I keep it as a reminder that I can’t always identify what emotions are dogging my days. I can just be out of sorts. When that happens, I turn my life and my will over to the care and keeping of a loving God (once again and again).

God, who loves me unconditionally, who loves you unconditionally, has an unlimited supply of “sorts” and sends them lavishly whenever asked. We are blessed!
