Flowers - Reminders

Well as if my Thursday didn't start off bad enough with my husband making me ill (refer to yesterday's blog) the day just went downhill from there. Work was...ummmm...I will just sum it up like this... I WORK IN A LAW FIRM! That should be enough said. People have said that attorneys and doctors are from the same breed. If you've ever been in a situation where you were irritated with a doctor then you probably get my drift. I love the two attorneys I work for but have some issues with a few others on my hall.

.

But, anyway, I had to say all of that for you to understand my point today. I find it interesting that just when you think you've had enough and just can't take one more thing that one more thing happens. Just when you think you're going to blow someone adds a little steam to that engine. I guess that's the nature of the beast though.

.

However, just when you are at your limit you are reminded that things are okay and that He is with you. As I came home last night things in my house had smoothed over and things were quiet. As I came into work this morning I had flowers on my desk from the two attorneys I work for. A payoff? Maybe but no matter what intentions were behind the flowers and the peace and quiet at home last night it was nothing more than a reminder that He is with me. Every step of every day.

"And the one who sent me is with me—he has not deserted me. For I always do what pleases him.” John 8:29 (NLT). He has not deserted me. I refuse to allow the devil to take my joy. I refuse to allow frustrations at work and even at home to wipe the smile off my face. Because at the end of the day when I lay my head down on the pillow I know where my eternity rests. This ole world is just a stopping place. Every trial, every tribulation, every heartache, every tear, every frustration, agitation, annoyance, argument, etc. is nothing more than preparation for my eternity. I am here on earth to learn to be the angel God intended me to be when I get to heaven! See His ultimate plan for me is to worship Him for eternity in the wonderful city He created for ME...heaven! And, in order for me to get there...I've got to be chiseled down a little bit, fine tuned to perfection. I'm fine with that...chisel away!! I love flowers...but...I LOVE reminders! Funny how they sometimes go hand and hand!
