Life’s Little Lessons: I just put my little Sweetie-Pie to bed after reading (for the 100th time, to the nth degree!) one of her favorite stories, “Mr Frumble’s Worst Day Ever!” Even before he steps out of the door, Mr Frumble is a fumbling disaster, happening in real time. And the folks in Busytown are every bit wary of him, not with this bad streak of luck doing the rounds with him. But for the little matter on the playground that will have been forgotten when morning comes, my little princess had a good day. As I tuck her in, and the little theme clock on her wall ticks away, I can’t help but wonder: How often do we, without much thought, define ourselves by our worst days?

It’s some kind of human inclination to think of what went wrong. Ah!! But we believers need to have a different story. The question is do we? We need to bathe our minds in Gods goodness, meditate day and night on His word and suddenly our perspective will be “I had a great day!!” Always. Good job reading by the way. Making lifetime memos right there.

I reckon that is the wisdom of the Psalmist. At day break, he looked up and resolutely decided he’d be full of joy and be glad. Why? Because “this is the day that the Lord has made.” Psalm 118:24

I am forgetting the subject and stressing what I tell parents daily, make time for your children. Your faces say it all! Keep it up Jacob!

Frumblelistic worst days can be overcome so much easier if everyone had a Sweetie-Pie to kiss goodnight!

there is always so much to be happy about ..or to be thankful for but its i guess human nature to always dig for and dwell on any unhappy events we can find….but slowly no matter what age, one can always forge new simpler ways of living well personally iam making three weeks now of…theme “DONT SETTLE FOR SUCCESS: MAKE A DIFFERENCE— STRIVE FOR SIGNIFICANCE….
