It was a slow day.

I woke up this morning ready for a great day. I was rested, the kids were up early enough to avoid the morning yelling and I think I even told God that today was a good day for any challenges, trials, whatever. And then nothing happened. I did a bunch of catch up work, answered some phone calls (and tried to make some, but that's a whole other story!) and made sure everything was ready for Sunday.
I realized while I was sitting at my desk waiting for something big to happen, I was not making the most of the everyday. I had a great conversation with a mom who's struggling with a son - to me a small thing, but to her a big thing. When I thought about that I was struck with how very self absorbed I was being. It's not about me - it's about God and how I can serve Him.
It ended up being a slow day with a huge message to me.
