The Good News

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I feel like I've been having "one of those days" everyday lately. Needless to say, my everyday job situation doesn't do much to help my mood. I feel like calling in sick almost everyday. So, I know you're probably saying to yourself, "This sure doesn't sound like good news." It's not but the good news lies not in the situation or the circumstance but the promise of things getting better. It lies in the fact that although I really, really, really wanted to call in sick today, I realize that there is someone who couldn't do much of anything this morning because of an illness. I'm grateful I'm not sick today and I don't want to take it for granted. I realize that there was someone who needed me more than I realized today. We never really know how our thoughts and actions affect other people but when I take the time to be still I feel the Spirit revealing things to me concerning the word and about others that I couldn't possibly know without Him. It's just about being obedient to the Spirit and acting on His word even when I don't feel like it.
