"Look for the good, and praise it!"

My Great Grandmother Emma Blaser Sorenson, was a wise woman. Smart as a whip. She was pretty, spiritual, and had a million valuable qualities. A true gem. One thing she taught my mother growing up; "Look for the good, and praise it!" My grandmother Eileen, has enstilled this into me as well as my own mother.

We all have our good days, and we sure have just as many equally "off", or bad days.

So many peole fail to see the silver lining of day to day life.

When you're flustered with your children, who are being disobedient, careless, and rude. Count your blessings for their health. Their ability to speak, to walk, to eat. Some kids are much less fortunate.

When you look at your bank account, and see it's not what you expected, be happy you have a roof over your head.

When your head hits the pillow each night, be grateful it's a pillow, and not cold icy concrete.

When you shower every morning, give thanks for even having hot water, or a shower.

When you're stuck in traffic, be grateful you have a car.

When you see a homeless person, pray for them to be put in a direction that will help them. Or, just talk to them. Sometimes all people need, is just someone to show that they care, even if it's a stranger.

Help those in need. "Charity never faileth". And is a selfless act, worth of so many thanks, smiles, and hugs filled with immense gratitude.

A negative attitude, will only bring doom, rainclouds, and ill fate upon you.

Looking for the good, will bring you love, joy, happiness, and thousands of blessings.

There is a silver lining in any scenario, but only if you want to see it. Look for the good, and praise it!
