I Dont' Feel So Good

Ever have one of those days where the bed and the bathroom have become your new best friends? Mine was yesterday. Yes, thank you, it was most enjoyable. I would; however, like to make a suggestion to the makers of "The John": include a reachable flushing device.
I needn't say more.
Today, I feel better; that is to say, I have given the two bff's a break from me. Too much together time with a bff can cause some stress; let alone two bff's. One would argue over who was having the most time with me; it's wasn't enjoyable. Especially when one bff is cold and hard and the other makes you hot and sweaty. They don't mean to be that way, it's just how they are.

One comfort through this was my man. I love my man. I mean, who is their right mind would cater to a whiny, sweaty, hot and ornery person all day? He rubbed my back, cuddled me, played with my hair, let me turn the fan on and freeze so I would be comfortable, let me twitch and fuss to find the right spot to lay my head down. What a sweet guy. What a pal. What a bff.

My man is my all time best friend. He knows when I am worn out, tired, at my best, my worst, sad, happy, stressed and PMS'd. He knows when to be quiet, as most men should, and when to speak (at least when I am sick); can't say he's good at it all the time; but he tries. He looks out for me, takes care of me, holds my hand, carries my bags, walks me to the car, let's me sleep in, washes the car, prays for me, and he makes being sick, not so bad.

I can tell my man anything and he loves me anyway. I can cry and he holds me. I can be angry and he still cares for me. I can look like the night of the living dead and he still wants me. I can lose it all and he would be with me. He stands by me. What a man.

It reminds me a lot of God's love for me. No matter what I say or do; no matter how I feel or act; no matter how I look, God loves me. God will always love me. As healthy or as sick as I may be, he will never leave me. He will always be with me. He stands by me. What a God.

I pray you can say this about your bff's, your man and most importantly, your God.
If, not, I pray the opportunity would arise for you to experience God like never before. May he open the eyes of your heart to witness things around you as you've never seen.
