Interesting

Yesterday I made it back to Bible study. This study is great. We're currently in the 8th chapter of Daniel and my head is still spinning from yesterday's work.

But what's interesting is what was read during worship. Some other women were glad to take over leading worship for me as I wasn't ready to commit back yet. And the dear woman who normally sings with me was left to read something in between songs. She was nervous, but she did great. And what I find interesting in my own little life struggles here is what the Lord gave her to read:

"When asked if I find the glass half full or half empty, I just reply that I'm thankful to have a cup."

I can't remember the name of the famous person she quoted as having said this, but it hit home for me. Looking at life isn't a matter of black and white, optimist or pessimist, half full or half empty. It requires being thankful for the things we have and not complaining about the way we have them or the lack of what we think we need.

interesting....any thoughts???
