Rainy Day Thoughts

"I get everything all beautifully planned out and it has to go and rain" ~Wilbur the pig

Today was a day like that.

I was so tempted to be grumpy.

I was so tempted to be irritable.

I was so tempted to just leave work and speed home and crawl back in my bed.

Nothing happened to make me feel this way.

It rained.

Rainy days make me feel blah.

Rainy days make me want to scream.

Rainy days mean I am cooped up all day with 22 children in a small space.

Today they didn't have their special so I was with them ALL day long!

Then it hit me very soberingly.

I have a job.

Many people don't have a job right now.

One of the dearest people in my life doesn't have a job right now.

And as I have gotten up the past few mornings and turned the coffee pot on

Her hair dryer hasn't been going.

The light isn't streaming under the crack in her door.

There is an air of sadness in our apartment.

Partly cause we have an empty room (the door is closed, we can't bear to look in)

Now also because I am the only one setting the alarm and trekking out the door to work


Her attitude is amazing and such an example of faith

I pray that I will prove as faithful

And that I won't take it for granted even though there are still 4.5 more days til Spring Break

But then as I read blogs and such I am also reminded that

There are people we know going through way worse

And above all

God is still in His heaven and well He has always been faithful

So why would He stop now?
