Party time!!!!!

It's party time! ( pity party , that is). For some reason I've felt sort of "oppressed" for a few months. Not sure why..kids are great, David loves me....but you ever been there? Today I went to school telling the Lord, "this is your day". Got to school and found out my co worker resigned and will be leaving in two weeks. ( sigh..she's a good worker , too, teacher with a degree, etc. ), one of the kids was exceptionally out of whack in behavior and then one of our little fellows threw up! oh me....that's all I'll say about it. I wanted to cry. Part of me missed the classroom, but it's like the Lord just isn't ready for a classroom yet. I'm ready for a vacation, but we are not financially able for one right now ( and you know everyone tells you they've been on a fabulous trip! ha ha and I'm glad they can if they are able) I got home and checked my e-mail and I was immediately convicted....

I read from Lisa B. that she indeed has lost her baby.

I read from Ann K. that her mom had a bad fall and is in a nursing home that is less desirable and she feels guilt. I just love you Ann....

I read that my friend Becky's husband hurt his back

and my friend Tracy's husband won't have a job in Jan.

My cousin Stephanie had a wreck and scared her mother half to death over it. She is a first year
teacher too feeling the stresses and this was not a good thing on top of that.
So, I've asked the Lord to take my eyes off my "woes" and remember that other around me may have it worse. I've asked him to show me how I can encourage them.

"Look now everyman on his own things but every man also on the things of other."

The Party is over!
