Today I’m thankful that it coulda been much worse.
- I coulda mistakenly bought $25 worth of unnecessary groceries instead of $5 worth.
- I coulda budgeted 1/2 hour too little time to set up my lab instead of 5 minutes too little time.
- I coulda broken my leg when I fell on the ice/slush today instead of just getting the left leg of my pants soaked through.
- I coulda had a half dozen students upset that I missed half of my “office hour” when my meeting ran late.
- I coulda not been able to get to class in time, instead of having to park at a meter in order to get to class on time.
- My adviser coulda completely shot down my thesis proposal instead of just telling me to find a theory to tie it to.
- I coulda been completely overwhelmed by the physical and emotional events of this week, but God’s grace has been all sufficient.
It coulda been much worse, but it wasn’t–and for that, I am thankful.
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
