Positives in Negatives

A young woman was sitting at her dining table, worried about taxes to be paid, house-work to be done and to top it all, her extended family was coming over for festival lunch the next day. She was not feeling very thankful at that time.

As she turned her gaze sideways, she noticed her young daughter scribbling furiously into her notebook.

“My teacher asked us to write a paragraph on “Negative Thanks giving” for homework today.”
said the daughter.

“She asked us to write down things that we are thankful for, things that make us feel not so good in the beginning, but turn out to be good after all.”

With curiosity, the mother peeked into the book. This is what her daughter wrote:

“I’m thankful for Final Exams, because that means school is almost over.

I’m thankful for bad-tasting medicine, because it helps me feel better.

I’m thankful for waking up to alarm clocks, because it means I’m still alive.”

It then dawned on the mother, that she had a lot of things to be thankful for!

She thought again…

She had to pay taxes but that meant she was fortunate to be employed.

She had house-work to do but that meant she had a shelter to live in.

She had to cook for her many family members for lunch but that meant she had a family with whom she could celebrate.

Moral:
We generally complain about the negative things in life but we fail to look at the positive side of it.

What is the positive in your negatives? Look at the better part of life today and make ur everyday a great day.

Be happy and blessed always.... 🌹

Everything happens for a Reason.

🍃🌿
A King had a male servant who, in all circumstances always said to
My king, do not be discouraged  because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes.
                            
One day, they went hunting and a wild animal attacked the king, the servant managed to kill the animal but couldn't prevent his majesty from losing a finger.                                     

Furious and without showing gratitude,
the King said; if God was good, I would not have been attacked and lost one finger.

The servant replied 'despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good and everything He does is perfect, He is never wrong'.
                                                 
Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his servant.

While being taken to prison, he told the king again, God is Good & Perfect.
Another day, the king left alone for another hunt and was captured by savages who use human beings for sacrifice.
                                              
On the altar, the savages found out that the king didn't have one finger in place, he was released because he was considered not "complete" to be offered to the Gods

On his return to the palace, he ordered the release of his servant and said; My friend, God was really good to me. I was almost killed but for lack of a single finger. I was let go.
                                                     
But I have a question; If God is so good, why did He allow me to put you in prison?

His servant replied; My king, if I had not been put in prison, I would have gone with you, and would have been sacrificed, because I have no missing finger.
                                                         Everything God does is perfect, He is never wrong.

Often we complain about life, and the negative thinking in us kills the positivity in us...so think positive and trust God at every moment....
