DAY THREE: I'm not so bad off

It's Good Friday.

I've spent most of this week feeling kinda down, kinda attacked.  I've dealt with it pretty well, but I definitely feel pressed and crushed at times. 

But there have been blessings.  A wonderful gesture from a friend for the sake of my children, contact from a great friend I've missed for a while.  Kristin getting a heads up about a possible teaching job.  A visit from my mom that merited a free meal at Chuy's. 

And, it is Good Friday.  A day we remember the greatest sacrifice of all time.  A day of darkness that had to come for there to be light.  The kind gesture Jesus got was someone carrying the instrument of His death for a bit, the contact He got was from blow after blow from abusive Romans.  The heads up He got was words of assault.  The free meal a sponge with wine-vinegar so He could speak "It is finished."

And then He died.

No, losing a job is not so bad.

But then, today is just Friday.  It is but a pause before the glorious Sunday to come.
