Ever just have one of those days when ya feel like everyone is picking on ya? I am definitely not feeling like the top dog today! It all started when I backed into my sons car in the drive way this morning and it's been all down hill from there. There's a verse in the Bible that says
"This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it" We are to give God glory for all that goes on in our lives. Even those hard to handle situations that can devastate us in an instant have all been (hard as it is to believe) filtered through his fingers of love and dropped into our lives; lives that he holds deep in the palm of his omnipotent hands. He promises that he will work all things together for our good and his glory. I can't imagine how he's going to use this day for my good and his glory, I just know I need to be open for his teaching. Unfortunately it is true that I do learn better and faster when I'm in the pit. So for what it's worth
"Hallelujah, praise the Lord" for today of all days. I hope I can be a good student and learn quickly.......I don't really like it down here! Someone once said
"it's not on the mountain, but in the depth of the valley where the flowers flourish and grow." I sure hope this to be true in my life.....and that's all I'm going to say about that.....for now.
So, you tapped his car. Take a deep breathe and be thankful that he wasn't standing in the way.
ReplyDeleteNow for the stuff that you already know:
All material possessions, no matter how valuable, are replaceable and repairable. When we make a mistake, we own up to it, apologize for it, learn from it, and carry on. Rule #1: don't sweat the little stuff. Rule #2: everything is little stuff. In the grand scheme of things, this was a minor event. On a lighter note, it's like being constipated .... this too shall pass.
Take a deep breath, think of something that will make you feel better. Hug your son, apologize, do something that will make him feel better, and have a better day tomorrow.
If that doesn't work, slap him (gently, if you must), tell him to get over it or Santa won't visit him this year, have a hot chocolate and a candy cane, and realize that at least you're not Tiger Woods and that you're not getting hounded by the media and roasted by David Letterman.
You are too funny Steve, thanks for making my day much better! I'm going for the smack.
ReplyDeleteHow come Stevie makes a funny comment on your blog and not mine?? That's not fair. :D Lol.
ReplyDeleteHe always has such a way with words doesn't he? As a true maritimer.
Hmm, that's quite a preachy blog...
And don't be abusive on here! No smacks allowed. :)
Because he likes me better than he likes you!
