For most people, Mondays are the day they dread. Things typically don’t go right, you don’t get the things accomplished you planned to complete, things break, you get bad news, it’s just not a good day. For our family, that day is Tuesday. We know to expect the unexpected, plan to not accomplish much, and remember that attitudes are going to be difficult.
Today, we found out that all the pipes in our only bathroom with a working shower are frozen. That means we have one toilet for 9 people. The only sink we can use is in the kitchen, so that’s where everyone is brushing their teeth. And worst of all, that means there are about 5 of us who REALLY need showers which can’t take place.
Dad got ready to leave for work this morning (having washed his hair in the kitchen sink) and found out his keys had been locked in his truck last night…..so he had to take our mini van to work at Trugreen this morning.
And we got a phone call, already this morning, giving us possible bad news (that I’m not at liberty to share this morning.)
What a start to the morning! I have to remember that I’m supposed to get up each morning and give the day to God. I have to remember that what happens today, is what He wants to happen. We may not get anything done except for playing with 2 very special kids who are moving away at the end of the week, but that’s what’s supposed to happen. And I have to remember to keep a good attitude. Being grouchy and short isn’t going to make it any better. So here goes my attempt to make it a good day, despite the difficult start. 🙂

Luke 8:48 and He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” Praying your day will improve and your attitude stays sweet. God doesn’t promise a rose garden but he does promise that the Holy Spirit will be with us and guide us through the storms. My love to you and your family.
