I woke very early this morning as I had to attend to my part-time employment. Sometimes working seven days a week can really take a toll but the importance of taking care of my family overshadows the sore joints and sleepless nights. One reprieve I have right now is that I do not start back to college until January.
When I arrived at my employment and had gone through the initial duties, I noticed an envelope in my drawer with my name on it. When I opened the envelope, and then the card, a check fell out and onto the floor. I picked it up and found a Christmas bonus! What an incredible surprise!
Isn't it amazing how blessings appear at a moment when we least expect it?! I am going to surprise my husband with a night out for our anniversary and a few other things! More importantly, inside the card was a beautiful paragraph about how much I am appreciated, dependable, and in good spirits despite the battles I am facing at this time. Having the compliment meant much more than the monies.
Is today easier than yesterday .. NO! And tomorrow may be even harder, but deep down I know the journey will be worth it and the rewards many, because ..
I ride the dark horse ..
