Silver lining in every cloud

Today was one of the most up and down days emotionally that I have had in a long time. On top of that I am way past tired and no reserves to handle the curves that life throws at you.

First I get to work and my boss had a major meltdown directed at me. This was so bad that I was ready to quit but all day I could hear the lord reminding me that this is where I am supposed to be and the he never gives us more then we can handle. Even though I spent a good part of the day arguing this point with God I now realize that he has a purpose for me being in this current job.

Second I find out that one of my good friends nephew drowned over the weekend and again the lord reminded me that I can handle this.

Third my husband was stranded at the gas station tonight so as I was getting ready to call a cab one of the lovely WAVE Ladies offered me a ride to help him out. She was my silver lining. Thank you so much.

This little act made me realize that when our focus is on God and not on our troubles then life is survivable. I am reminded of a saying I grew up with lay your burdens at the lords feet and rest until someone needs you to help them.
