Answered Prayer!

I have a praise! Today is Sunday, and I get to go to church!

It had been a while. For the last 4 Sundays, I've only gone to church once. Last week, it had really taken a toll on me: I was getting really cranky and resentful especially at work. I found myself thinking terrible, angry thoughts toward customers, like when someone came through the front doors "GO HOME!" "STOP SHOPPING!" "WHY ARE YOU HERE WHEN YOU SHOULD BE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY?" and "DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING THAT NEAT PILE OF... DOH! OH NO YOU DIDN'T!" It was a bad couple of days, but then I was convicted. I said to myself, "Self, you're being ridiculous and unfair. Your resentment is unreasonable, like a mother who resents her children (No, Mom, I'm not pregnant) for being hungry and dirtying the dishes, again and again and yet another dirty dish to clean!" So I stopped.

God graciously answered my prayers and gave me a Sunday. Thank you!!
