On the show HEE HAW, the fellows would always have a segment where they would sing the song, "Gloom, Despair, and Agony on me" and lament all their troubles and trials. It could be anything from their truck breaking down to the cornbread burning. We all have troubles.
When we have troubles, we need to find a way to face those troubles, to free ourselves from the burden of those troubles, and to forge on to the good end that GOD intends for us. Now, I know that that is much easier said than done. As a matter of fact, I have probably shared that I have my occasional pity party; I just try not to lie in that pity bog for long. I eventually choose to move on and let it go.
Today's word is a quote, a saying, I came across that I really like. It says, "Being hurt is something that you can't stop from happening, but being miserable is ALWAYS your choice." To which I add, "Choose to be happy.
Once again, easier said than done, but doable. Folks are going to hurt us in ways we never thought possible. There are folks in this world who derive great pleasure and enjoyment from hurting others and seeing others hurt. And, there is absolutely NOTHING you can do to stop them. It is a definite fact that being hurt is going to happen, and there is NOTHING we can do to stop it from happening. BUT...
But, how we handle that hurt, that disappointment, that ridicule, that betrayal is up to us. Yeah, wallow in it for a while, we all do, we all will. Then, pray for GOD to give you the strength and the fortitude and the determination to move on. We can't stop the hurt but we can stop the misery. Choose to be happy!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
