Didn't like the clothes in my closet - although I'm not sure why. I definitely have enough for me and several other people - so I am blessed in that regard.
Walked out the front door and noticed the glass is cracked. Irritating - not sure why, because the door is still standing to protect the house. Also, as a dear friend reminded me - I have a house to go home to and there are 33 miners who have been away from home for 69 days.
Trashmen didn't pick up our trash, because a neighbor parked their car too close to the trash cans. GRRRRR - this one I know why, but didn't like it just the same.
Pulled the trashcans back to the garage and tripped on a portion of the driveway that is broken. Again irritating, but I have a driveway to put my car in.
After the "trip", found out a shoe was broken. That was not a good thing either - but I still had more shoes I could wear. I know there are people who don't.
and the list could go on............
So, I let several small things turn into big things - but didn't rely on the ONE big thing in my life. Yes, that is right - God. For each of the small things - he showed me why I should be thankful - I have clothes and shoes to wear, I have a household that creates trash to throw away, I have a driveway to place my car in - of which I have a car to drive. And for the other things that I am letting bother me - I shouldn't.
So - to those of you who like me have one of "THOSE DAYS" - remember, there is someone bigger out there who can take your irritations and hurts and make them better.
I'm going to try to remember this - and if you were in the pathway of Hurricane Dawn today - I apologize. God is showing me through my irritations that it is not that bad - I just need to remember what I have and what others may not have and be thankful.
I absolutely love the way you write - simple and straight from the heart. I hope you keep writing forever and a day!!
