I had my "a-ha" moment in church this week. It was a tough week, Emma getting in trouble at daycare and written up twice. I was tired and struggling to figure out what was going on with her. She wasn't any different at home, in fact she had been behaving really well at home. On Sunday, I got to church just feeling weary. I was not looking forward to the next week, nervous that there would still be trouble at daycare, and not really "feeling" the worship service. Then it happened...communion. I started crying, and felt as though God was saying, "You get to start over every time you screw up, so why can't Emma?" I had to let go of my anger towards her behavior at daycare and start over. Emma and I shared communion together and it was lovely. I think the thing I left out of my week was thanking God for the good in my life. I made a short list at church.
I am thankful for: 1. A little girl with lots of spunk! 2. A chance to influence a life! I checked my bad attitude and began to focus on the good...what a difference that little act can do.
