29-08-10 (Sunday) “Grateful For The Darker Days”

This may sound a bit morbid and weird but I really DO thank God for the days that were hard, the days that were challenging. Without them, I would not be as appreciative of the here and now as it is. Its so easy to be praising God when everything’s turning out fine, when all your applications go through, when all your work has been given recognition and good feedback, when there aren’t any worries in life, pretty much… Then when the hard times come… THAT’S when its all revealed. What is your response to all the bad things, all the hard things? It is only the things that hurt that make you remember harder and to learn a stronger lesson from it. And it is those very things that don’t feel nice that wind up strengthening you and moulding you.On a side note… Spring is coming! Praise God for the wonderful weather! Praise God for clear, blue skies with the warm sun shining down on us. Reminds me how God is constantly watching over us!
