Today started out rough. While watering my plants I caught my onyx necklace on a cabinet handle, the string broke, and an onyx bead plunked down on the floor. Then I showed up at San Marcos Middle School to find that my substitute job was cancelled. Fortunately, another district's substitute job came through via my phone, so I still had a job. It was just an hour drive from where I was!
That substitute job was wonderful. I had great classes with which to work and a prep period! I actually caught up on my journaling.
After school it was time to tutor my math student with ADHD. He actually got a B+ on his last test which is a major break through for him! I was so excited that I actually gave him a hug!
As I drove off for my Christmas choir potluck, it dawned on me: all the people part of my day was wonderful. Isn't that the only thing that matters? I don't really need my onyx necklace. God also provided me with a job, so what was really bad about my day? Not much.
Sometimes I get stuck in the current of mayhem and need to stand above the mayhem to see the simplicity of the big picture. Then I can see what really was bad and needed to be fixed, and what was good in order to thank God.
