What constitutes a bad day for you?

Ever vocalize "My life stinks!".
Did you chalk off today off as a "bad day"???
It's so easy to say this but what truly constitutes a bad day?
Hair and nails need to be done and no time?
Work day a rough one?
People you deal with mean and selfish?
Kids, marriage, family a mess?

Granted those are speed bumps hindering you moving forward toward where
you want to be, but walk with me on this....parts of a day can be bad
but do they really negate all and any of the good in your life?

Today I had a few down minutes and sent out "love" to a few friends that
I knew have had some "bad days" in the last few months.
I try to do that often but as you know "life happens".....I fall behind.

So during "conversation" with one of my friends, she told me she was
planning on contacting me today to share a photo that she knew I'd want
to have.
The headstone was laid yesterday on the grave of their 6 week old daughter.
I was called to their side in June and stood by them as we walked through what would level any parent.

I was able to make meals, buy staples for the house (toilet paper,
paper plates, etc. for all who were stopping by to visit), and buy a few
need things for the 3 year old big brother who was grieving as well.
Donors to Hope and Friendship Ministries/Foundation made this assistance possible.

So today as I was buying diapers for other friends in need: 18 month
old needing diapers, food for 2 families who had empty pantries, I
receive this text, this picture and this reminder that as long as the
days may be, and as exhausting as this calling may drain me, I am
walking among angels that are helping to meet needs of those within our
arm's reach who are financially, physically and emotionally unable to
pick themselves up without the hand of a friend.
May God Bless you and yours for you truly bless them and theirs.

May you be comforted by the "good" in your tomorrows to ride you
through the rough parts knowing that I am impassioned to make sure that
we will surround you, aide you, love you, and walk with you though the
valley.
Peace & love my dear friends,
Terri
P.S. God Bless those that are laying their heads down tonight with such heavy and
broken hearts. May He guide us to them and with the strength and
capacities to love and aide them <3

Wishing you peace,
Terri
