It is such a beautiful day today! I’m loving the warmer, sunny weather. But it has me thinking… I want to be happy even in the storms. I don’t want to be positive only when my life is good and it’s all sunny and happy. If I am, then what good does that positivity even do? Isn’t everyone like that?
Instead, I want to find joy even in the trials of this life, even in the storms and the dark times. Isn’t light most needed in darkness? Going through the storms only makes us appreciate the sun even more. So let’s be thankful today for all of the blessings we have, whether it’s in an obvious form, or one that we can’t seem to wrap our minds around.
Reminds me of Luke 6: βIf you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.”
