Unexpected Surprises

This is a hysterical one. There's times that we start off the day. We have our plan and our agenda set. Well, most of the times. However, there are those days that something just happens to offset them. It might not be bad but it might not be great.

First, there are always those people around us who will make those comments that bring down the mood. However, it is up to us in how we respond. We could allow it to deflate our balloon or we can try and help them out by being really positive around them.

Secondly, in this video, I laugh because of how so many of us will have our agendas set and then God allows our attitudes to be lifted.

Awhile back, I was having a real tough day. I just felt like I was in a rut. It was after class. I went to my car to go to work. When I walked up, the person who parked by my car had parked literally, three inches away. So, I went to my passenger side and was going to climb in through that way. I had a drink in my cup holder. I set it in there to crawl across the front. As I started to sit down in the driver's side. I realized something, quite quickly, I had a wet bum. In the process I had knocked the drink into my seat. I sat there in the ice and water, laughing. Just like that my blues were washed away.

It's amazing how those small things in our lives can really turn a frown...or a drink upside down. Praise God for those small moments in our lives.
