something to ponder

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing....

After receiving his second Academy Award, Danzel Washington said to his family, "I told you, if i lost tonight, I'd come home and we'd celebrate. And if I won tonight, I'd come home and we'd celebrate." Denzel, a professing Christian, was trusting God in blessing or disappointment.

A christian couple I know were inspired to follow Denzel's example. The woman was applying for a dream job that had just opened up where she worked. The interview went well, but she knew she might not get the position. Her husband suggested, "Let's make reservations at our favorite restaurant this Friday to celebrate no matter what the outcome."

Soon the news came that someone else was offered the job. But that Friday the disappointed couple still celebrated. While eating a delicious meal, they were able to count their blessings and renew their faith in the God who holds tomorrow's opportunities in His hand.

In time like this, we all suffering from global recession.. all we need is to seek God's help... for he alone will conquer waked things here on earth..

Thank God in your disappointment, Celebrate His grace and love; Know that He will leave you and will bless you from above.

The pain of disappointment is soothed by a heart of gratitude....
