Dark days for light days

I wanted to save this title to remind myself to write about going through bad days in order to get to good days.

I thought of this when I stayed home with Carter on Tuesday. It was kind of a crummy day and I really didn't feel like staying at home. I was fighting off the end of a cold too though and realized later that I needed to recover from our incredibly crazy weekend and the bad Monday that Dad put us through.

I started feeling better later in the day when the kids and I went to the mall and to Dick's to use some gift cards that they had. When I thought about going anywhere, I knew I wasn't in the mood but I went anyway. We did our running around and it went fine and had Ele's Place in the evening which always makes me feel better.

My point is, I guess is that I needed to go through some of the crummy stuff during the day on Tuesday to appreciate and feel better what happened Tuesday night and even yesterday, which ended up being a good day. God knows what we need even when we don't. He knew we needed a day off on Tuesday to have a good Tuesday night and Wednesday.

That gives me hope for some of those horrible days, which I am sure I have a lot of still coming up, that getting through those will get us to the good days. Praise our Holy God. Love you boy!

(I had a note by this title that this could apply when comparing days on earth to days in heaven too.)
