KEEPING THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE

Today we can complain because the weather is rainy or...
Be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free!

Today we can feel sad that we don’t have more money or...
Be glad that our finances encourage us to plan our purchases wisely and guide us away from waste!

Today we can grumble about our health or...
Rejoice that we are alive!
 
Today we can lament over all that our parents didn’t give us when we were growing up or...
Feel grateful that they allowed us to be born!

Today we can cry because roses have thorns or...
Celebrate that thorns have roses!

Today we can mourn our lack of friends or...
Excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships!

Today we can whine because we have to go to work or...
Shout for joy because we have a job to do!

Today we can complain because we have to go to school or...
Eagerly open our minds and fill up with rich new tidbits of knowledge!

Today we can murmur dejectedly because we have to do housework or...
Feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for our minds, bodies, and souls!

Today stretches ahead of us, waiting to be shaped.
And here we are, the sculptors who get to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to us.
We get to choose what kind of day we will have!

Which kind of day will you choose?
