Some Days Are Tougher Than Others!

Today is 12/13/13. And it has truly been a Friday the 13th. Well, everything after I left my beautiful family to come to work. With only 11 days left to shop for Christmas, people are out in full force and as a retail store manager I have my hands full. 

Anyway, when I work nights, I have tough mornings. It's hard to spend that time with my family and then leave them, knowing that when I return they will all be asleep! It makes my heart just hurt. However, I know it is what I have to do in order to make their lives the best they can possibly be. 

It's hard being away and working so much this time of year. A time of year when time with your friends and family are nearly as central to the season as the Birth of Jesus. It's especially tough when things don't go my way at work either. 

There's only two ways to cope and handle these times in my eyes. Turn to The Lord in prayer and think about what great blessings I have waiting for me at home. As I sat in my truck I searched and came across this verse. Hopefully, it can help you as much as it has helped me this evening...

Proverbs 3:5-6 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Thank you for reading! Have a great evening and God Bless!
