Are You Having A Bad Day?

As you all know, I had kind of a rough last few days.

I was frustrated with myself, and I blamed myself. I said,
"Here you are, trying to stay positive, find the joy in every situation, writing a blog about being blessed, and here you are, sulking because of a few crummy days and circumstances."

Of course, that only led me to be more frustrated.

I went to bed and I counted my blessings, and that helped. Then I read my devotional, and said my prayers. And as I said my prayers, I told myself something that brought hope, and ended up being true:

"Today was bad. Tomorrow will be better."

Are you having a bad day?

I realized today that they weren't my fault. Circumstances will always happen that will cause us to think we had "bad days"- unless you're perfect, they're pretty much unavoidable.

But thanks be to God, we have the hope that even if a day is bad, tomorrow will always be better.

God is already at tomorrow, and therefore hope is already at tomorrow.

Hope makes life worth living, and there is always hope that tomorrow will be better.

And if it's not?

Well, there is always hope that tomorrow (the next day) will be better.

Look for it. Find your blessings.

Are you having a bad day? Admit it. Say, "Today was bad."

But then, let the hope of God fill your heart and finish the statement with "Tomorrow will be better."

If you head into tomorrow with that attitude, it WILL be better. No matter what curveballs come your way.
