And it still is! "...giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God." (Know what comes before the dots?) May the Lord keep us singing! That was good.

I have referenced this post and the idea behind this satire quite a few times over the past couple days since its creation. How very true! And to think, that often the very situation or circumstances I am experiencing dissatisfaction and frustation over will be gone from my mind a year, a month, or even a few days later - oh that I would always keep the bigger picture in mind!

That was very inspiring to me. I way to often look on the wrong side of situations, when I could point out the bright side and be happy! Thanks for that post. Very good Wilkes Team!

It is amazing how often we take situations for granted when we fail to look at the good side of things. So many times we complain about the problems rather than thanking God for the blessings associated with them. This has given me a whole new perspective for today!!!
