The days are cold and snowy (or rainy, depending on what area of the country you live in). So much of the news we hear is just downright depressing..be it world news or the health and financial welfare of those who live around us.
I thought today would be a good day to LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. What do I mean? I want us to take today to think about the good part of living in this world. What brings joy to your heart and a smile to your face? Oh, I know all about the standard Sunday school answers like our salvation and heaven and those are certainly things to celebrate. But what about the simple things that we take for granted all too often. Things like
- the smell of coffee brewing
- 3-ply Kleenex (versus 1-ply)
- puppy breath
- the sound of a cat purring in your lap
- my 72 count pack of Crayola crayons from childhood
- heat from a wood stove
- the sound of the ocean waves
- the spectacular colors of autumn
- the taste of a fresh, ripe tomato in the summer
- homemade chicken and dumplings
- the smell of freshly cut grass
- flannel sheets
Really, I could go on and on, but I want to hear from you. What simple things bring delight to your life? Let’s look on the bright side today.
