Those days?
I’ve often wondered what that means. I presume that it has something to do with bad outcomes on what should be good days.
Today was one of those days that could be labelled, “not what I expected.” I was off to the office by 8:30 to write a sermon. It is now the end of the afternoon and I’ve yet to do any research or writing.
Phone calls included prayer requests, plans to look at a van for church use, two pastors from the region inquiring about wooden pews, my children’s current situations, and mutual work approaches. Then another regional pastor dropped in for coffee — a church board member came by for coffee. I talked to a local businessman about his health and a vehicle he has for sale. Wandered over to a local church to see if they had platform pieces for a concert we are holding Thanksgiving Monday. Smelled simmering roast as program personnel prepared a supper before their evening activity. Phoned a ministry to try to reschedule a date for a drama.
All of these things have been part of a busy day. All are helpful.
As I write this I am surprised at the calm that God gives. Perhaps his plans are not our plans! A tough thing but well worth recognizing!
