My neck hurts a lot today, probably a 6 out of 10.
I've got a sick child. It's grey and rainy.
Some friends got further bad news about an already precarious financial situation.
I'm going to a high school friend's (only 42yo) funeral this evening.
Any of those could sadden me for a while, so combined is particularly unpleasant.
EVERYONE has days like this; the days that so much is wrong, and it's hard to find any blessings. Let me be clear: I know that my blessings abound, but on days like today, they seem to disappear like a puff of smoke.
So... what does the faithful Christian do? None of this is life-threatening, but it is life-draining.
It's easy to forget that Jesus himself experienced bad days, and that he lived the whole range of human emotions: happy, sad, angry, afraid, and kept going.
How?
He gave it to God, took time away from the press of daily life, and didn't sum up his whole life in one bad day.
