I try to find hopeful and inspiring stories on tv, but sometimes that's hard to do. Thank you for this post which serves as a great reminder to work on seeing the glass as half full.Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964365067756242351.post-90018391275422758502019-03-03T08:47:56.137-05:002019-03-03T08:47:56.137-05:00I can relate to the glass half empty when stress a...I can relate to the glass half empty when stress and exhaustion enter the picture! I have been praying for the ability to rise above circumstances, or at least not to fall immediately into negative thinking when the tough times come. Like you said, it's challenging. God wants us to bring our burdens to Him. We were never intended to do things without Him, or in our own strength, because it just leads to more frustration. Still, being human, it's challenging! It's good to know, however, that God is here to walk beside us during difficulties. Things have been feeling especially difficult with my mom right now, and i told God I can't do this without Him. A few nights ago, without looking this up, I came across an article about cheering up dementia patients. The next day I walked into her apartment wearing a funny nose and glasses, the plastic ones, and she started laughing so hard! It changed the entire mood and the visit went better than any had in a long time. I thank God for bringing that article to my attention at such a crucial time! Your waterfall picture is beautiful Debbie!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09388129297972632441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964365067756242351.post-61541757660234787902019-03-02T20:33:33.398-05:002019-03-02T20:33:33.398-05:00Hi Debbie.

It is a learned behavior from a worldly sense, but a God-given right from a spiritual perspective.Clearissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09525590696247530768noreply@blogger.com
