It seems like lately, life has been such a whirlwind that any little thing that doesn't go my way makes the day just horrible. However, tonight I had to take just a moment and put everything into perpsective. There are too many people around me that are suffering, some I know and others I just read or hear about. Their pain makes my pain seem unreal.
I've been very impacted lately by reading updates on Layla Grace. http://laylagrace.org/
It reminds me of our good friend Warren who also suffered from Neuroblastoma. It was very touch and go for him as well, but he's now 16 and doing great! I keep praying God isi going to perform a miracle for this family as well. However, I know time is running out. God always has a plan, it's just not always revealed when we want it revealed.
Lately, getting up and going to work, hasn't had the "spunk" it used to have. There are often too many things that frustrate me and yet nothing I can do anything about. Today; however, I decided to have a new attitude. I didn't let anything get to me. I tried to perform at least 2 random acts of kindness (let someone go in front of me at the copy machine, held the door open for someone who was walking across the parking lot with her hands full. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it made me feel better to just be nice!
God has a plan for each of us. I need to remember to live each day as it's my last and make the most out of it! The dirty dishes, unanswered emails, and laundry will always be there. The time with my family and making a difference in others' lives won't be.
