One of Those Days

Today was one of those days...you know the type. The day where nothing horrible happens, but you are just kind of ready for it to end, so you can go to bed, and start again tomorrow. Yeah, today was one of those...

One of those days that started too early.

One of those days where you spend too long looking for something you thought would be relatively easy. It took me an hour and 45 minutes to find a pharmacy that would custom make a medicine for Beckett...It's a drug that needs to be compounded and even some compounding pharmacies could not make it and did not have the materials needed.

One of those days where people think you have a fax machine or easy access to one, and I don't.

One of those days where people think you have the time and energy to deal with your insurance company covering this special-made medicine, and I don't.

One of those days where your ready for dinner and bath time by 4:00.

One of those days where you sweat the "small stuff."

Just one of those days...

And then it ended perfectly with a precious reminder from my little 3 year old. He was praying before bed, and after thanking God for many, many people, he said, "And please make Beckett's belly all better when we get up there. Oh, and please put lots of stairs in my big, big house up there with a big backyard with a hill...(a few more requests) OK, thanks. Amen." What a beautiful and much needed reminder of what is eternal. So amazing that God would use my 3 year old son to snap me out of what is worldly and temporary and remind me of what is true.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

What a precious ending to one of those days...
