One of Those Days

How often have we felt like we just cannot please anyone? That thinking can lead us to really evaluate why we do what we do. I was having one of those days today. I realized that that still small voice of God speaking to my heart is what motivates me to do many of those things I don't desire to do but know I ought to do. But God does not want our begrudging attitude, he wants us to give our all to him. So, sometimes instead of secretly complaining we should go to him and ask him to change our heart about the task we have set before us. No matter how small.

It's interesting the way God works. Almost as soon as I allowed God to do some heart changing I viewed the things that kept coming at me with a laugh. Yes, a laugh. Let me shed a little light here. You see after coming home from a very frantic trip to the airport to get my husband on his flight in time I walked into my kitchen to find one of my larger pictures on the floor shattered. It was not hard to figure out this happened because one of my doors to the house was slammed one too many times (not out of anger but because little ones tend to want to push the door shut a little harder than they need to). So, as my older daughter works on some extra touches to a science project I bend over and begin picking up pieces, as my back and legs scream to me in pain. Aaah, just one of those days I thought. How much better was that thinking then what had been going around in my head the rest of the day. I pray God will help me to look at those hard days as 'just one of those days' next time I begin down the spiraling path of frustration.
