Shall we accept good from
God, and not trouble?
—Job 2:10
For some it only takes one balloon to launch a pity-party …
a traffic jam;
a cantankerous clerk;
a critical comment.
Why do bad things always happen to me? What have I done to deserve this?
Here’s a suggestion for when you’re in a whiny mood: think through the past three days and zero in on one good thing that happened each day.
Smile.
Relive it.
You have a choice … you can focus on the pleasant or the unpleasant, the blights or the blessings.
With all the blessings in the world, why should I suffer so?
or …
With all the suffering in the world, why should I be so blessed?
The world is full of good
for those of a mind to see it.
