Personal Reflection
The Garden Vine
Vida totally enjoyed her life until she realized it
was taking her in an unexpected direction. That new direction confused and
frightened her. She resorted to complaining because it wasn’t what she wanted. She was happier with how her life was going
before.
In time, however, she realized that if she spent some time
thinking about it, she would have identified the blessing. Thankfully, it
wasn’t too late for her to turn her frown into true gratitude.
That's likely how life is for you sometimes. You're fine with how
things are going, and completely disappointed when they change. It's important,
however, to find the blessing in each situation you encounter.
Changes in life usually mean better things are on the way for
you. Take
the time to identify what those better things are and be thankful for them.
When it's difficult for you to see where a new road leads, have
faith that it leads to positivity. Be grateful for the opportunity to
experience new things. Appreciate that your situation is one that many others
wish for.
