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
