Day 28- Evil Forebodings

"All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances]." Proverbs 15-15

Prayer:
"Dear Lord Jesus, through so many days in my life, I have been robbed of my joy and contentment by evil forebodings. As those feelings come to me, please remind me that You are in control. Help me to rest in You and rejoice in Your power in my life. Amen" Pg 97

********** My Thoughts***********

The reading for today reminded me a lot on me.  It was about being in a low spot and only able to see and expect bad things.

I'm not like this all of the time, but once in awhile Satan grabs hold of me when I am down and tries so hard to keep there.

Yesterday was a good example.

I had to work all weekend, and it was my anniversary yesterday.  Even though I got out of work at 2, I still didn't get to spend any time with Ted until about 7.  And that is when Alyssa started throwing up.

Between running around and getting the boys shoes, picking up a hay feeder and an air compressor, taking care of things in the barn, doing laundry and cooking dinner, my groom and I had no time for each other yesterday.

I was not happy about this at all. 

I should have remembered, however, that we do a great job of celebrating our love and marriage together every day, not just on our anniversary.

That I am truly blessed everyday with my job and my family, through being thrown up on and in health.

You see, Alyssa and I stayed home together (she couldn't go to school).  We played checkers, laughed at funny You Tube videos, and watched the History Channel.  We made a good memory from her being sick.  And I am thankful for that.
