Believing the Yucky Stuff is Good for You

Oh, I do not like having to deal with yucky matters--you know the kind where you have to wade through friction, which might come from others, yourself, or a combination of both. Had that tonight at work. It was a combination of me, another worker, and a customer, and it was just yucky. Didn't like it much at all. Still don't like it much, but I keep reflecting on it and wondering what I can change. That's a good thing. That's why God doesn't always allow things to go just right. Can't get better at anything without being stretched. But, I still feel yucky about it. Though a little less than before.

I'm grateful that I have to face the yucky stuff, that I have to get through it, and hopefully be a little better in the future because of it.

Glad for Today

Today is the Lord's day. And yet, I have learned that when you give this day to the Lord by worshipping Him, what you receive back is more than what you give in worshipping Him in the first place. That is how I feel today. The Lord is giving me what I need. So, yes it is the Sabbath Day, the Lord's day, but in a way it's really my day too.

I am grateful for the Sabbath Day, the Lord's day.

A Friday of Little Things

I am so thankful for my day so far today. Three prayers finally got me to sleep last night and though I didn't get up as early as I had hoped, I got up feeling good and ready to fulfill my commitment to give my all today. Again, little things make all the difference, but sometimes those little things are the hardest to do and to keep doing.

I am grateful for the little things that make big things easier.
