It is hard, if not impossible to be unhappy and grateful at the same time. Like love, a grateful heart is its own reward. If I am honest, most of my unhappy moments can be traced to some blessing I have overlooked. There is little room for weeds of pessimism if our garden abounds with flowers of praise.
"Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!” Ps.95.2 Conversations Within” ts 11/18/2021
