A Good Day...

A friend recently encouraged me to not miss even the slightest glimpse of the Lord.....
I have really tried to do that during this difficult season, such as:

• being so thankful for our health
• family and friends who have continually reached out and let us know they are praying
• having a roof over our heads and an incredibly gracious landlord
• clothing
• food
• a job
• kids and a husband who can still manage to make me laugh, even on days when I want to crawl into a ball and hide in the closet
• co-workers that I enjoy being around

And today...today was a good day, but very busy. Seeing other people get a job who desperately need employment (and how ironic is that?? Does God have a sense of humor or what? Or is He constantly placing me in this environment to show me that the time will come for us, it just is not now?) is very rewarding. I truly have joy in my heart to see them so happy. I wondered if it would be difficult for me; if I would secretly struggle with envy or jealousy; but by the grace of God, I haven't. I know that is only through Him. So, today, I rejoice with all the people who got to start work today or tomorrow. May they be thankful and good stewards of what He has given them; not taking it for granted because there are still thousands unemployed.
