Second chances

I'm having one of those days today- a day where a misspoken phrase felt like an insult, where my plans didn't go as I wanted them to, a day that would usually leave me feeling bitter and upset.  I won't lie... bitterness and upset definitely occurred, but I am not ending the day on that feeling.  God gave me a second chance.  I was able to look logically at the supposed insult and see that the person most likely didn't mean it as that.  My plans were thwarted, but I still got a lot done and had a successful day.  And finally, I was able to help another person.  I am finding that helping others is truly my calling in life.  I don't always have the answers, but when I am able to help someone, I feel absolutely amazing.  It's the best feeling in the world.  I am so thankful to God for not giving up on me.  He always finds a way to bring me back to my best, especially when I least deserve it.
