KK on a good day
I am writing this while listening to Kaydence cry from her room. Apparently she has been quick to cry all day. She’s had a “bad day.” That is defined as a day when nothing seems to go her way.
I can sympathize. I have days like that. Some days I can’t seem to do anything right, in spite of what I feel are good intentions and honest effort. I sometimes wonder why we have such days. I think it may be because we need to learn not to rely on our own effort. What may be a bad day for us; may be a good day in God’s eyes. A day when we recognize our need for Him and our dependence on Him is a good day. Although such a day may be accompanied by frustration and tears.
Perhaps we could avoid, or at least greatly reduce, such days by acknowledging our dependence on Him up front, first thing in the morning. I know when I reach the point of saying, “I can’t do this. I need help.” Things seem to turn around. He takes over and, when He does, things just seem to work out.
How can we teach that to a two-year old? In fact, how can we learn that ourselves?
Jesus I need you, not just on “bad days” but every day.
She’s stopped crying. Lesson learned? Probably not. But the quiet sure is nice.
Hoping there is quiet and peace in your house, in short, a good day.
