Finding a Way to Feel my Faith

According to the calendar, I should post today. Or write something to post later. Or to write anything at all.

I am not feeling it. I feel like a nap. I feel frustrated that the scale keeps saying the same thing. I feel like our house is never going to sell. I feel like my son will wake for a few more hours of trying my patience by aggravating or being aggravated by every other living thing, and this will go on forever.

But feelings aren't what I need right now, and these feelings certainly aren't doing me, or anyone else, any good. What I need is a reason to finish this post, exercise, start dinner and smile at those revived by sleep.

What I need is to talk myself into feeling better, to feeling like life is abundant. What I need is to feel my faith.

This is the day the Lord has made, 

I will rejoice and be glad in it.
