This was my facebook status yesterday. I was reflecting on the past two days over my birthday and was reminded how blessed I am.
But I was convicted by this statement as well. I realized that my happiness, feelings of being blessed, and joyful attitude were during pleasant and good circumstances. The question suddenly occurred to me, would I still be joyful if my wife was angry and not talking to me, my kids were screaming and fighting non-stop, my boss was on my case to get things done quicker, and/or any other number of not so pleasant circumstances. I was challenged to begin viewing all of my life as blessed and joyful, not just those moments that are pleasant and easy.
