Consolations

"The Lord sends us hundreds of little consolations every day, most of which we never even notice. But it is His way of reminding us that He loves us"

I think I heard this quote in a movie somewhere. But I'm not sure which one or who said it. It was not me. I know that much. 

I was thinking about it today though. I seriously woke up so cranky today and was not in the mood to deal with much of anything. So when my apartment parking lot was torn up and I was pretty sure I ran over a bird and hit traffic and didn't understand class I was pretty much over everything. I was just going to go home and wallow in self pity and maybe take a nap. 

{Cause that's the solution to everything right?} Maybe not, but as I was leaving school I was waiting for someone to back out of their parking spot and watched them back right into someone else's motorcycle. And as bad as I felt for that guy, I was so glad it wasn't me. I had this moment where I thought well everything else sucks but at least I didn't hit someone else with my car. 

I was still in a mood but it wasn't nearly as bad as it had been in the morning. When I sat down to do my homework though I pulled a sticky note out of my drawer and lo and behold it had that quote on it. Ohhh. Yeah. Talk about a 2x4 to the face. 

I have bad days, but they really could be so much worse. And I am so glad that I wasn't the one to hit that person's motorcycle.
