So true. Attitude is so much. I think of Joseph of Egypt. Hated by his brothers, so into slavery, falsely imprisoned. He could have been totally depressed or angry but that would have been completely unproductive. And I certainly never have it worse than he did. I think his story is a great example of how there is purpose for our lives even when we can't see it and if we have the right attitude and are productive the Lord will help us.
not only that, but in thinking of things like hurricane katrina we'd all better have our wealth within us rather than displayed on a glass shelf somewhere... good post.
Such wisdom, love this quote!
