serendipity

Today started horribly.

First, I wake up at 3:45AM on weekdays to go move boxes at UPS. Contrary to what anyone says the economy is doing well enough that there is NO shortage in boxes. I know because I move 'em.

Well, I didn't and don't feel good in my body and I was fighting a bit of the sadness. Not the best start.

I came home and me being sad and tired doesn't help the wife who is also tired and very pregnant.

I take a nap.

I go to the IHOP prayer room, mostly under compulsion, and the Lord was sweet to me. He took my bitter attitude and was totally nice to me. People talked to me and I talked to them. Someone gave me money. I went to the library to pick up a book that was on hold for me. I came home and UPS had delivered a TON of Christmas presents from my parents. They were overly generous.

God is good...even when I'm all wore out, angry, and bitter. Thank you, Jesus.
