“I tell you these things so that my joy may be in and your joy may be made full.” JesusI suppose some people gravitate toward praise just as some do toward complaint. I find in myself and to my disappointment, that I am often the latter. When I do, it is a bitter herb I add to my soup. I am grateful that God is not leaving me to such a negative disposition but encourages me all of the time to walk on the positive side of life. He is teaching me the skill of praise—to first see His hand in everything and everyone, and then gratefully know the quality of each and every interaction as a gift from Heaven.
