James Allen said,"Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself." What an amazing truth! It is in time of crisis that we find out what we are made of. Is our first reaction one of blame or anger? Or do we remain faithful; grateful for all that we have been blessed with as we move forward through the challenge?
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance The Lord be with you all! (2 Thessalonians 3:16)
Remember - as your neighbor witnesses your kindness to others, he/she also witnesses your reaction to a flat tire, a broken lawn mower, a noisy neighbor, or any of a number of unpleasant surprises. All that you have done well, with love and care can be undone in those moments if your reaction belies the words of encouragement you've shared in their moments of distress.
So be vigilent .... be grateful... always.
Have a wonderful day filled with gratitude in the midst of your circumstance. I'm in the balcony cheering you on.
