Found It

Ever lose something? Ever lose a really small something? Did you find it? It's difficult, sometimes, to find things that I lose, maybe because I seem to misplace a lot of things. I seem to have a knack for losing small pocket knives and folding money.

I lost a twenty dollar bill once and couldn't find it anywhere. Twenty dollars is a fair amount of money, and when I lost it, it may have been all the spending money Trish and I had for that week. We searched and searched and jut couldn't find that twenty dollars. It's, often, hard to find the smaller things.

Today's word is a thought that I will try to tie into this story shortly. It says, "Look for something positive in every day, even if some days you have to look a little harder."

Some days are so bad it is really a challenge to find anything good about them at all. Today would have been my Pops' and Momma's fifty-fifth wedding anniversary. It is tough to find anything good in losing your loved one. However, my parents had over fifty-three years together; that's pretty nice. Maybe you have to dig a little deeper but you can see that those years together were good.

As for the twenty dollar bill...found it when I put on the jacket the next fall. I had left it in a jacket pocket the previous spring and didn't find it until the next fall. What good, what positive to be found in that? Well, we did find it. Also, GOD just smiles on me despite my blatant stupidity. Look for something good today, even if you have to dig a little deeper. If you look for something positive, you will find it.

Be Blessed,
