You Do More Good Than You Know

After looking back on a really lousy day, I realized some good still came from it somehow. Even on our roughest days, God can work through us to touch the lives of those around us.

 Alrighty! Sorry for missing a post again, y’all. I’m not perfect, and yesterday was a rough day. But that’s what I’m gonna talk about. After having an extra-long scripture study this morning, and feeling my sanity has been restored- XD it still stuck out as the thing I wanted to talk about most. Cuz it was “one of those days” for me. You know, when after making a ton of progress and growing so much as a person, you just have that one day where, for 24 hours, you relapse into a lot of stupid stuff you thought you’d outgrown a long time ago. Yeah. Yesterday sucked.

Alrighty! I’ve got a short but interesting thought for y’all today. I really took my sweet time with scripture today, to the point where I honestly dunno what to focus on. Sure needed that today tho. It’s been a rough morning. I’ve had to fight a war with fire ants all week, and a sick cat leaving messes all over the house for me. It’s been a rough morning.

It’s days like this that I’m grateful for the holy scriptures. Sometimes you just need to take your sweet time with the scriptures and ignore the clock for a while. It’s been a while since I gave myself that luxury. Clearly I needed it today. However, I’m not gonna share something from my actual studies today. Instead, I’ll talk about something fun I realized at church two days ago, while learning about the Second Coming, and the way the world will be prepared – and is being prepared – for the return of Jesus Christ.
