When we’re going through a challenging time, be it health, work, family, finances, or all of the above at once, it’s good to keep things in perspective.
Out for a walk one day during my stint in Texas, I was whining to God about my recent losses, struggles, the heat, and my general inability to understand what He was doing in the latest chapter of my life. Then I stumbled upon someone who was clearly having a much worse day than I.
Today, let’s remember… That no matter what our current trials, if we’re still standing, perhaps we need to just change our focus. Start counting the blessings all around us.
Like brilliant colored stones surrounding our current ‘situation’, it’s all a matter of perspective. When we can’t change the circumstances, let’s choose to focus on the beauty all around it.
Amen.
