It has become pretty easy lately to notice what is missing on the store shelves, around our community, in our own pantry. I have shared with our two (2) little ones that they have seen something here in America that I have never seen in America - empty store shelves. I have seen it in other countries but never here.
I don't know why we have empty shelves in our stores. I don't. According to all the suppliers, all the producers, all the providers, there is enough for everyone but people keep hoarding up certain things and emptying shelves. They want their part and aren't concerned about anyone else; that is a pretty easy place to find ourselves in, if we aren't careful.
Today's word is a simple quote from Charlie Brown that says, "Keep looking up...that's the secret of life."
Instead of noticing what is not there, I have started noticing what is. We still have plenty of food. Maybe there are a few preferred items that we are having a more difficult time procuring but, for the most part, we still have everything we need and most of what we want. It truly is a matter of perspective and seeing what you have, instead of focusing on what you don't.
The other part of this quote to remember is that it is about looking up. It is, again, easy to lose sight of all the good things going on, if we only focus on what is going bad. It is a beautiful time of year, things are in bloom, things are springing to life, pretty days, extra time with family, A LOT of good things going on. And, we know that every good and perfect gift comes from GOD! So, I am going to try to stop looking around and spend more time looking up.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
