Praise is like a muscle; if we don't exercise it regularly, it becomes
weak. But if we flex and extend an attitude of gratitude daily,
praise grows into a strong, dependable force that nurtures hope and
carries us through the worst of circumstances.

We
should learn from past mistakes, certainly, and then shed the guilt
like a moth-eaten Winter coat. Admire a fresh Spring outfit and look
ahead. Your past prepares you for the future if you are open to the
present.

Be
patient - and is that not hard at times? It blindsides us via
thoughtless neighbors,
inconsiderate drivers, careless clerks, dense husbands, and children
taking for--ev--er .... But waiting is an unavoidable part of life. I
remember in my life's journey someone saying to me that the Bible says
we don't have to come undone by it. The Lord's patience is our shield
and defense, and He's got plenty stockpiled. I have never forgotten
those words and they have helped me along the way in my days.

Do
you remember as a child, being alone in your room as punishment or
sitting with
your nose plastered to the corner in time-out? It felt like your parents
had abandoned you, didn't it? Now as adults it seems sometimes we still
feel
abandoned when that's not the case at all. Actually we are in a place
strategically chosen to teach us, broaden us and improve us in the end.
------------------------------------------------------------
These are things well worth keeping in your daily .

To
be human is to have doubts and fears. But as faith grows, our
doubts and fears lessen. The good days will increase in number.

Self
pity may beckon today. But remember, fortunately, you have learned
you do have other choices.
