I got off to a lousy start this morning. You know what I mean–you’ve been there done that! I didn’t sleep well because of some meds my doctor put me on, I got up, made coffee, and then proceeded to dump the whole cup on my desk. Now you would have to see my desk to realize how bad this was–coffee all over my papers. To make matters much worse, my open brief case was sitting right next to my desk. Yeah, you guessed it–coffee on more important papers.What a day!
But then for the next hour or so I talked with my son who is Iraq, going through a nightmare. Suddenly my day didn’t look so bad. After a while I decided to go get a hair cut. When I got to the barber shop I listened to a man describe just witnessing a man get struck by a car and killed. I had just listened to the story on the radio, but the actual description was horrible. My day was looking better all the time. Next my barber told me that a long time preacher friend of mine had died. I knew that man over 30 years and had no idea he had died. Now my petty problems seemed really small. Hey, I’m having a great day. Although I grieve over the people I’ve just mentioned, I have absolutely nothing to complain about. I have it much better than I deserve. When you are tempted to get all bent out of shape because of your problems you might want to remember that someone has it worse. Can’t think of anyone?–look to Calvary! Think about it and have a great day!
