Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.

As I lay here about to go to sleep for the day (remember I work nights) I am thinking about this weekend at work. What an amazing job I have. I can see life start and end all in a 12 hours shift. I can help heal a wounded heart and comfort a tearful family memeber all in the same room. I watch people go through the best and worst times of their lives on anygiven day at work; and yet I am still amazed at how God handles it all. There are things I don't understand and many that I am sure I will only understand when I can ask God myself in person. I do believe that God has a plan for us all and that everything happens for a reason even when we think there could not possible be one. I lay here today thanking God multiple times that my family is safe and that I get another day with my daughter and husband. That my Dad, Moms, grandparents are all safe and that we can be together, while others moarn the loss of one of their family member. I found myself tonight more judgmental than I ever thought I could be and as I walked to my car I was sick to my stomach to think that even though I had strong feeling about the situation I had no right to think and say the things that I said. ( While venting privately to a cor-worker) I had to remember that even though I was so upset over the situation that that person was still a person and a soul that needed Gods guidence as much or as I think about it more than anyone else. I found myself saying a prayer in the hospital parking lot to help him...... Something that I did not ever think I would do. Thank you God for opening my eyes. So I guess what I am saying is that please kiss those close to you and tell them that you love them every chance you get. Be safe and thank God for the little things in life that make living such a precious gift. I sure know that I will be doing these things more often that is for sure.
