WE'VE LEARNED THAT EACH SITUATION IN LIFE PRESENTS CHOICES. WE CAN SEE FAULTS IN OUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND WITHDRAW FROM RELATIONSHIPS, OR WE CAN BE GRATEFUL THAT THEY OVERLOOK OUR FAULTS AND BAD HABITS AND DECIDE TO DO THE SAME FOR THEM. WE CAN GRUMBLE ABOUT OUR JOBS AND CO-WORKERS, OR WE CAN BE THANKFUL THAT WE ARE ABLE TO WORK AND EARN INCOME. WE CAN CRITICIZE OUR NEIGHBORS, OR WE CAN APPRECIATE THEIR WILLINGNESS TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED. WE CAN GRUMBLE ABOUT MATERIAL POSSESSIONS, OR WE CAN BE GRATEFUL FOR SUFFICIENT FOOD, WATER, AND SHELTER. WE CAN DESPAIR WHEN LIFE GETS TOUGH OR WE CAN RISE TO THOSE CHALLENGES AND MAKE THE MOST OF OUR ABILITIES. REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION, THESE CHOICES ARE OURS TO MAKE!
LORD, HELP US TO ACCEPT THE JOY THAT YOU FREELY OFFER US~
Phillipians 4:4
