a little something

Some days the Lord encourages you in little, unexpected ways. Like today, for instance. I had finished my day at work yesterday in an irritable mood, due to a conniving customer that had really irked me. And then this morning, I had the privilege (sarcasm intended) of being totally chewed out by a disgruntled customer. And I only called to get their change of address.

*sigh*

However, the Lord used my sweet husband to lift me up. Last night, for no apparent reason (by that I mean birthday, anniversary, holiday, etc.) there was a single red rose with a simple little note waiting for me when I got home. And then today, on my lunch break, I arrived home to yet another red rose and another sweet note, telling me why He appreciates me and loves me.

It's amazing what such a simple little act of love can do to melt away the tension and stress I was dealing with related to work.

And also, a great opportunity for me to remember to be an encouragement to others, as well as to pray for those who really just IRK me. I think I need some help on that last point, but I'm a work in progress, and the Lord is faithful. He is, after all, the God of second chances!!
