Thoughts for Thursday

Today was exhausting....mentally and physically! It was my first day back at work and it felt like the longest day ever. I was totally lost the whole day. Luckily, I have a few good students that helped me out. :) Gosh, it was like the first day of school all over again. They talked nonstop and acted like they had no idea how to act in school. I'm breaking myself in slowly, though...I work 3 days this week and then I have all of next week off. You know, I never thought I'd say it, but I wish I didn't have to work. I would love to be able to stay home with Ruston. I really am so lucky that I don't have to send him to daycare. I would have worried myself sick today if that were the case! Well, here are this weeks words of wisdom....

GOD SAID NO...

I asked God to take away my habit.

God said, No. It is not for me to take away, But for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.

God said, No.. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.

God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;

It isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.

God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.

God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from

Worldly cares And brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.

God said, No. You must grow on your own,

But I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things That I might enjoy life.

God said, No. I will give you life, So that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.

God said... Ahhhh, Finally you have the idea.
