I wasn't very nice yesterday. I always get a bit flummoxed the week that I prepare for a jewelry show, but yesterday was over the top. It's like all heaven and earth and my family know that my time is tight and unavailable, yet the universe converges to want my time, attention and whatever else I'm willing to give right now, this week when I am pressed and distracted. All this is to say that I wasn't very nice to a certain someone who didn't deserve it. I was even aware of my bratty behavior while engaged in said behavior, but that didn't stop me. Yet God presented me with the sweetest gift that alleviated some of my pressure.
Maybe He was giving me an "atta girl" for at least being aware of my poor performance; or maybe because I made a point to apologize sooner rather than later. All I know is that I didn't really deserve that sweet gift but I got it anyway. A cynic would say it was to make me feel all the more guilty about my actions. My heavenly Father would say it's because He loves me and gives me His best even when I'm not giving my best to others.
Thank You, Abba. Lesson noted. Gift appreciated. Today I'm going to pay it forward.
