I was in the bit of a slump driving home from work last night and I was trying everything to get my thoughts lifted from that place in my head. I was meditating on promises in God’s Word and words that reminded me of who I am. I filled the car with music that would speak to my soul. It was very effective in not allowing me to sink deeper but honestly there was still a bit of heaviness on my mind. I remember looking at the sky thinking, ‘if maybe I could see a little sun…’ Anyway, I got to my driveway, got out of the car to get my mail and noticed mail from a relative whose call I’d been repeatedly missing. I opened it there in my garage and instantaneously the heaviness I felt was like smoke—POOF! It was gone. It’s amazing how the words on a page and a picture can quickly plaster a smile across your face and your heart. All of a sudden, it was like the heaviness I was dragging with me from work seemed so trivial. Perspective—that is what this letter had given me. Just clear and simple perspective. And I’m thankful because I know God sent it at just the right time.
