Keep your joy. Life is going to throw you curves. There will be disappointments, things that aren’t fair. That’s when you have to put your foot down and say, “Yet will I rejoice in the Lord.” We should make this decision every morning, “I will be joyful today.” Decide ahead of time that you’re going to enjoy the day. When people dump things on you, keep your lid on. Don’t let that get in you. When you’re tempted to get upset, frustrated, remind yourself that you have the power to remain calm. Keep it in perspective; this day is a gift. Honor God by living it grateful, happy, and to the fullest.
— Joel Osteen
This is perfect for our times. We don’t need to panic about the state of the earth now, but we do need to become responsible for its care and longevity. We cannot continue to rape the earth with it showing obvious signs of distress and do nothing to help it as we have been doing for so many centuries. We must become aware and conscientious about taking care of the earth so that it can in turn take good care of us. Thank you for the excellent post.
