Today is the homecoming game, and my midterm. I was planning on waking up early because I really wanted to go to the pancake bakfast and watch the parade. But, I stayed up really late and so sleep was more important. Then, to my surprise as I was walking to the testing center, these cars with balloons came strolling by; it was the parade! So I watched for a bit and then went to take my test.
I was super glad that I got the chance to watch the parade, I have all these plans, goals, and good intentions that get trampled on by the rest of life. (Usually they get pushed out of the way by tings such as school and family and eating on a regular basis, you know higher priority items.) But this was one of those blessings where I got to do something I didn't think I would get the chance to do, and it was great.
I suppose the moral of the story is to not get too bent out of shape over all the things you can't get to, and to be greatful for the times, though they may be few, that you can do everything you wanted to.

That's so true! We definitely need to take advantage of the good things in life, big or small and cherish every moment we can. Thanks for posting this blog! I need to work on balancing my life out and cherishing the little things that make great impacts.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely. There are things that you would like to do but you just don't have the time to get to them. There is no need to get upset or let those things ruin your day.
ReplyDeleteI love times like that when it is obvious how good God really is. He knows our struggles, and helps us get through the most important priorities in life, which is wonderful and helpful, but it is a true tender mercy when he also helps us with the things we want as well. I'm glad he was able to help you survive the stresses of life.
