It's not always easy to smile in the middle of your darkest days , but gratitude is essential to getting tbrough life's challenges! What do you think Paul was talking about in romans when he wrote: 3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. Romans 5:3–5
It seems every day God sends us Little reminders to be grateful for what we have and for his love. For example, I learned of a young lady with disabilities more severe than mine who doesn't have the resources for a needed new wheelchair . Gratitude is a choice not a luxury for The good times! No, I am not saying that we have to be happy/joyful all the time but we are responsible for our own happiness . Every day you know you have the choice either to be grateful for what you have or be absolutely miserable The choice is yours… choose wisely. Every life is Formed For His Use.
