Look for the Good

Friday's are always a day looked forward to by many. I was no different yesterday. It had been somewhat of a long week of work and I was excited to get off work, grab a few groceries and relax the rest of the evening. I have the weekend off so I was excited to know I could spend it how I wanted.....maybe cook a little, lay by the pool if nice, and catching up on some reading. Well we know that life never usually goes the way we plan. I ended up staying at work a little longer than I thought - which made me a little more crabby that I needed to be. Drove the 6 or however many miles it is up to the grocery store, got groceries, put them in the trunk and was ready to go. Only problem  -  my car wouldn't start. It was acting a little strange the last couple of days, but it didn't think much of it. I tried a few times to start it with no luck, popped the hood acting like I knew what I was looking at, and gave up and called Kyle. So what to do in the 20 minutes it would take Kyle to get there. Well read my book of course! Luckily (or more like God intended) I had brought it with. So after all I got my few minutes of quiet time to just relax and read. It's crazy days like this that I usually get crabby and selfish thinking I just want to do what I want and not what others might need. I focus more on the bad and not the hidden good. Thankfully (and as always), God knew just want I needed and gifted it to me. Maybe not in the way I would have had it, but I'm learning that my way is not always what is best.
