I was also convicted by this mornings lesson. I actually read it three times. It is certainly easy to get on a negative band wagon.....I try to make a concerted effort to change my thinking and remember to have a joyful heart which brings a happy spirit. I truly believe that thinking and doing things in a postive and happy manner can bring not only joy to your own life, but maybe will touch someone the way you never expected.
I have got to say Nola, WOW, I love your statement you left about being thankful for the "small things". I have copied it and plan on sharing it with others!
