Today a guy at work had enough courage to present the other side of the story for the guy who was fired at work. I felt bad for having empathised with the seeming ill will that was expressed about him. I then thought about how I was careful in my choice of words and didn't express ill will, just disappointment.

Today I ran into a guy from my Church outside of my building. He asked me about my job. He said that it is fortunate for me that I have the skills to do this kind of work. I told him that it is by the grace of God that I have received the opportunities in life that I have. I told him that I am very blessed to have the job that I have. Later in the day we were told that we are not getting bonuses that we thought we were getting. It was as if God presented the opportunity for me to realize how lucky I am to have what I have before I might become ungrateful.

In the afternoon I was barraged with requests while I was trying to meet a deadline. I managed to make the deadline but I still felt afraid that I didn't do it right.

Tonight I remembered to get the kids to practice behaving in Church. It went well, they sat almost the entire hour. I had to give directions to sit still alot but there were no meltdowns or fits. I was very grateful that we got off to a good start and I am optimistic that this will work.

Thanks be to God.
