‘One of those days …’ turns around

Holly Schneider

Haven’t we all used those words at one time or another to describe a day when nothing seems to go right? When it feels like trials are coming to us in bunches, it is so comforting to know that “divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need” (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 494).

Less than a year ago, I was babysitting my two precious granddaughters, aged two years and six months. The day already seemed full of challenges, and the baby was quite irritable. Furniture was being delivered at an unspecified “sometime that day,” and I was already feeling overwhelmed. But I didn’t want to complain because I knew that caring for my grandchildren was a labor of love. I knew I needed to start thinking more spiritually about the situation.

When I went to get the baby’s bottle that I had warmed, scalding water poured over my hand. The baby was crying, my hand was in pain, and the doorbell rang. The lovely new furniture had arrived.
