BE GLAD!

A good friend said to me, 'Be glad, never be sad.'
It didn't make sense at first, yet now I understand what he meant.
To be glad is a choice we make. We focus on all that is good in our lives, and so we can see how much we have to be grateful for.
This gratitude of spirit is what is needed to help us be glad for all that comes our way, even pain.
Of course, we may at times feel sad, and that is such a natural feeling. 
Still, how we feel is often not reality. it's just a feeling that will change, like the weather.
To be glad for all that touches our lives, even the sad times, is most important.
Then we learn to see God's love in all that is happening to us.
We grow into a positive and happy person, glad to know that we are loved.
