Can this day get any better?
I was supposed to have a long shift at Costco today. I got up and saw a kitchen that needed a lot of time and effort, laundry on the floor that needed folding, a full hamper of laundry that needed washing, garbage that didn't get collected and taken out yesterday, and not enough time to do anything about it.
There's a funeral at church this weekend, and I usually help with the funeral meals, but all my time is scheduled between now and then. I was feeling guilty about that yesterday, and Pastor Eric sprinkled fake holy water over me and absolved me of all guilt, which actually did help, but guilt was lingering around my edges anyway. I wasn't overwhelmed by any of this, but I did feel the weight of it.
Then my boss called and said something wonderful to me: "The warehouse sold out of the product that you were scheduled to demo today, so we won't need you to come in today." I've worked there two years and never heard of this happening. That weight lifted off of me immediately and I praised the Lord, and in the next instant I had a breakthrough with a difficult situation I've been going through with someone. We had a chance to talk and clear the air. Then I had a ministry opportunity and the Lord gave me the right words. Then I tackled the kitchen. The laundry is in progress, and I'm about the do the garbage. I emailed the funeral person and said I'd make food for the funeral. And I should still have some time left to worship in my empty house before meeting Mike and kids for dinner. God is so good to me to care about all these little details and give me what I need.
