God Sends

God never ceases to amaze me. A Friday night sitting at home on the couch alone is not my idea of fun. It was uplifting when the phone rang and it was a friend that instintly brought laughter to lift my funky mood. Then after we hung up, so she could write a paper (glad I'm done with all that school stuff) I easily slipped back into that funk. Then an im pops up from a friend who is making his way across the country. As we talked and he made comments about teachers not working very much but complaining about how little they get payed (which by the way does not settle very well with me) he was able to sense the funky mood I was in just by the words I was typing. That is just amazing to me that through typed words a mood can be sensed. I often feel like typed communication does not always convay the emotion the writter is wanting to send. I guess not this time, which this was not the first. I've had it happen before. I can't even hide my funk behind a computer. What's up with that. I usually try to appear collected and in control of my attitude, I hate to offend people by what I say. I guess that's why I appear to be so sweet to the people who don't really know me.
I just thank God for His way of sending people along when I am feeling so down on myself and need a little pick me up.
