Frustration to Anger to Joy

Last night was a rough night for us. The lady who lives upstairs was up all hours of the night and in by doing, kept my husband and I up as well. I am trying to sympathize with her. Her husband just left her for another woman after 28 years of marriage, so she is struggling living on her own and dealing with a divorce she didn't ask for. It's enough to keep anyone up so I can understand. But at some point during the night I started to get very frustrated and my sympathy was waining. Then I got angry. I was upset that someone could be so inconsiderate of those around them. I finally moved from place to place in the apartment and eventually slept with our 3 year old. As I lay there in his bed with him, an overwhelming sense of joy came over me. I actually started to laugh as I lay there listening to his snoring while my oldest was grinding his teeth, all while 91.9 was playing on their radio. I must say I didn't get much sleep last night, but it was a joy to lay there with them. I was so thankful that even though the bed was small, I had a son to lay next to and hear him breath. I was thankful for my oldest who lay peacefully about us in his bunk bed. I am thankful the Lord disturbed my sleep last night for that.
