I'm walking away...From the troubles in my life...I'm walking away...To find a better day...
- Craig David
Life is full of discouragements and negativity, but it's also full of blessings and positivity. I was reading Our Daily Bread from RBC Ministries, and there was an encouraging entry, just when I needed it.
A minister took out a large piece of paper and drew a black dot in the center of it. Then he held up the piece of paper and asked what everyone saw. They said: "I see a black mark." When the minster asked, "What else?" The only response was silence.
"I'm really surprised," the minister said. "You have completely overlooked the most important thing of all - the sheet of paper."
So often we are fixated and distracted by the dots in our lives and forget about the blessings that we have everyday.
As you travel down life's pathway, may this ever be your goal: Keep your eye upon the doughnut, and not upon the hole!
Next time you bite into a scrummy doughnut...remember this :)
Have a fabulous day :D
