Have you ever had one of those days followed by another one of those days? I have recently been humbled by God's presence. You know the children's' story "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" by Judith Viorst, well that is what yesterday was Kind of like but it began very good for me, just not for a student. Everything just seemed to go "wrong" late to school, spilt breakfast, melt down after melt down until almost total shut down. :-( I got so frustrated because anything I tried to 'help out with' didn't help; it only made matters worse. "I" tried everything possible until The Spirit reminded me that I forgot the most important thing of all - 'Did you pray?' Yikes, not until the little reminder that He is the only one in total control every time. Good thing I had a beginning that was positive and for once it wasn't a regretful day for me to look back on with mistaken 'reactions of impatience'. The student - well - was only reacting to a long weekend and a bad Tuesday beginning. Then one of the girls had that same kind of day. Yikes. :-(
With much prayer, preparations, prayer and eagerness today was a different day. It just seems like things went so much better. Yes today was one of those days that makes you think, why was yesterday so bad really? Mind set - what was the focus? It is so important for me to keep my mind focused on the Lord and the most wonderful gift of the saving Grace of Jesus Christ. I was beat both days but I am glad he sustained and continues to sustain me with each and every "One of those Days" because one day it may be my last before I go home. Maybe just maybe it is time to remember that when one of those days rolls through it is another great opportunity to share the Love of Jesus Christ so that none would perish. We all need him as our Savior, some just haven't been given the gospel message of Jesus Christ to open his gift freely given to all who will take it.
Well, One of those days may end up being the best one yet and getting to share Jesus.
