This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Ever have a bad day? Ever have more than one in a row? I think I'm finishing up Day 3 tonight of my "Bad Day" run. Nothing is working the way I think it should.... I even got mad this morning. Then the Lord gently reminded me of this scripture and I decided (grudgingly at first) that it really would be better to be thankful I'm alive (as I struggle to stay awake instead of sleeping like I desperately want to), that we have clothes to wear (as I fold load number 63), that we have food to eat (as I wash dishes for the 49th time), that I have children who love me (as I tell them for the MILLIONTH time to clean up), that I have a husband who loves me in spite of my failures (as I storm out of the room, black clouds hovering around me). I hug the precious gifts God graciously blessed us with and tuck them in bed, breathing a sigh of relief. Finally, a small piece of "me time". Then I remember the floors that so desperately need mopping, the dishes that multiplied in the sink yet again, the load in the dryer that finished a while ago, the dust balls stuck to the fans, the carpet that needs to be vacuumed, the bills that have yet to be paid. AND decided it will all still be there in the morning! I'm taking time, on purpose, to rejoice- God is God, no matter where I am or what I'm facing. He is faithful, consistent, true, just and righteous. If He decides to bless me with another day, I'll rejoice and be glad in that day as well.
Salut!
