 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Umm, Prodigal, You are about to be someone’s lunch…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 No, You are seeing it all wrong.\u00a0 This is my friend and I am helping him with cleaning his teeth since he cannot do it alone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Sorry about that, I just wanted to assume you were in trouble.\u00a0 That reminds me of Jennifer Rothschild book Lessons I Learned in the Dark Steps to Walking by Faith , not by Sight.\u00a0 I will share what she has wrote.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The only difference between becoming bitter<\/em> and becoming better<\/em> is the letter I.\u00a0 Approaching our difficulties from the standpoint of what I want, what I have lost, or what I think is fair will embitter us.\u00a0 Bitter eyes can perceive only the injustice and the sorrow in our situation.\u00a0 Grateful eyes, however, will\u00a0 always see the grace of God, regardless of how difficult our circumstances might be.\u00a0 Grateful eyes allow us to see “the goodness of the LORD in the hand of the living”Psalm 27:13.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a counselor what I have heard is a lot of stories with struggles in it.\u00a0 This is what I know for sure.\u00a0 Is that what ever you feel is unfair in your life this day, then I know for a\u00a0 fact someone is struggling with that same unfairness. They probably are struggling with more pressure and a more intense way than you\u00a0and is smiling and praising God.\u00a0 This is not too make you feel guilty but to just show you that we have a choice about what eyes we choose to use today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Psalm 19:8<\/p>\n

The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;\u00a0 The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening of the eyes.<\/p>\n
