Greater Still

Sometimes, I see how great God is.  But every time I think that I get it, I find that He is greater still.  Today I am at home resting.  Not sleeping.  I need some pain reliever, but don't feel like running to the store.  But, I was supposed to be at school working.  I went in. 
It all happened like this:  all new teachers were reminded by our supervisor to be certain that we had checked our subfinder to be sure that it was working.  Apparently there have been a few glitches.  Seeing as how I was feeling pretty lousy last night, I took it to heart and checked it out before I went to bed....just in case I woke up at 3 am more sick, I didn't want to find that it wasn't up and running.  I did so, even listened to the tutorial.  Then, I went to sleep feeling assured that I would know what to do if I ever needed it.  I got up this morning and went to school.  Shortly after, a sub showed up for me.  A sub that works in the building frequently.  A GOOD sub.  One that is usually booked.  And she hadn't even been requested.  She said that she was surprised to see a job opening at my school.  She snatched it up though it didn't have a name attached.  And, there she was.  And me without sub plans. ;)  No fear, she's a pro.  She was ready to go and had no qualms.  Today was an easy day.  A very easy day.  But, I was so thankful to see her.  I did some "must dos" before I left, and then I was off.  The fever was making my brain feel foggy and my eyes were hurting.  I went home.  Remembered that my son had forgotten his lunch...ran it out to him.  I know that will make a good day for him as well.  Came home and put curry on to cook for dinner.  Threw in a load of laundry.  Went to bed.  Hopefully I'll sleep soon.  Need it.  Though I went to bed early, I am still beat. 
It's like God knew all the way around that I needed this day.  And knowing that I wouldn't do it for myself, He did it.  I am constantly in awe of how He has EVERYTHING handled for me.  I could have sent her home.  I could have been stubborn.  But, I am learning to see His hand and to accept His kindness and meeting of my needs with grace.  He is so very good.  And every time I think how great He is, He shows me how He is even greater still.
blessings.
