Sunday morning started out good. I got up early, thanks to the fall-back-in-the-fall time change. I had a good breakfast and got ready early. And I got out my freshly dry-cleaned blue jacket. I had to put a clean handkerchief into the inside pocket and breath mints in the right outside pocket (the left side is for trash). I felt good laying my fresh jacket over the arm of the couch while I finished getting ready for church. But when I got to Sunday school, my jacket was still on the arm of the couch! Bummer! My great morning was ruined! I took my dear wife into church, and since we were fifteen minutes early, I went back home and got my jacket. I ended up ten minutes late for Sunday school. Hey, do you have days that go from confident to broken in just a few moments? Days when it seems that the wheels fall off the wagon? It’s usually good to stop, take a deep breath, and ask the dear Lord to take over. Don’t let frustration build, because it will only get worse. Philippians 4:6&7, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Don’t waste a good Sunday. Start in a good mood. Or … get into a good mood. Let the dear Lord’s peace replace your bad start. I did.
