Those days...

I suppose we all have "those days."  We think the day is going to unfold well...peacefully...productively...purposefully...and then something happens.  And something else happens after that.  And then...a couple more issues join the "one of those days" list.  I don't enjoy such days.  I don't plan for them.  I don't wish for them.  I don't like them.  But they happen...anyway...to all of us.

So what do I do when those days...sometimes weeks...often months...occasionally years...come along and knock me off my feet?  Well, I assure you I handle it quite human-like.  I get hurt.  I become frustrated.  I may roll my eyes when no one is watching.  I may even whisper a "now what?" or "good grief!" under my breath when no one is around.  I may secretly consider running away to an undisclosed location with no forwarding address. I may even decide to do some extensive housecleaning, furniture arranging, music blaring, run into my room, lock the door and stomp my foot every now and then responses.

Then I remember...I don't have to face this day alone.  I may certainly feel alone.  But I am not.  So I try to gather my strength, sanity and stability back...and I read a Scripture passage that puts "days like this" in perspective.  I am so glad that He hears, sees, cares, forgives, renews...and loves me...once more.♥~thl

"I wait for You, O Lord; You will answer, O Lord my God."  Psalm 38: 15
