This last week has been
pretty rough. Today was just one of those days. It was a day that I seriously
just wanted to throw in the towel. Here’s a quick recap:
- Patton came home sick from school Monday
- Dave left on DET Tuesday
- I found mold in my kitchen
- Today, I contracted Patton’s illness
- McKinley was having severe stomach pains at work and insisted I bring him medicine
But when I think about how
awful my day was, I think about how awful this week has been for the friends
and family of Lt. Nathan Poloski. Lt. Poloski lost his
life tragically when he and another pilot collided mid air last week in the
western Pacific.
Sometimes a little perspective is all I need.
I can’t help but think of his
parents, knowing they will never again hear his laughter on the other end of
the phone or feel the warmth of his embrace when he comes home for the
holidays. My day wasn’t that bad. In comparison, it really didn’t even suck.
So this week, I’ll be trying
to put everything into perspective and maybe be a little less dramatic with my ‘hardships’. Life is good and I’m blessed to serve an
amazing God.
