Yesterday was a hard day. It was a really hard day. I saw the UPS man. He had a delivery to my office. As I am signing for the package, tears came to my eyes. He looked at me and had no idea what was wrong. I told him that every time I see him, I think of my grandfather. I just then broke down into a laugh cry. See, this UPS delivery man is the neighborhood delivery man. My grandfather has since passed for almost 15 years. But I still miss him.
I also had to follow-through on legal matters concerning my family. The drive to the appointment was so painful and so difficult, but inevitable. The wind blows in a direction of its own; it has no concern for our desires or even will.
Yesterday was a hard day.
I was reflecting on all that are in my hands and the lives I come in contact with each day; there is nothing in my life that is small. There is a purpose to everything about me and in my life. So then, I stop to think about what God has given me to create, to oversee, to nurture. No small task, but it is mine to see it through.
I am in no shape or form perfect. I don't have it all together. Not all the way healed from emotional wounds. But the words that write, the words that I speak, are true nonetheless. Right is right; wrong is wrong. It doesn't matter if I have or have not mastered the art of peace; peace should be obtained. It doesn't matter if I have or have not mastered the art of trust; God is still to be trusted.
Yesterday was a hard day. A really hard day. Gosh, but there was a light inside constantly that kept shining in my soul that kept a smile on my face and a pep in my step. So when the Gem of the Day says to remember your purpose, remember it. There will be hard days but if you are solid on who you are and what your role is in life, it will be all OK.
Blessings,
