I have them on my knees from accidents and surgery. I have a few more around my old carcass from surgeries. I have them on my face from the removal of things that the dermatologist thought needed to go. As we grow older, I think that we collect more scars. Sometimes it feels like scars upon scars.
Stop.
Yes, I can acknowledge that line of thinking, but I don't want to let those thoughts dominate my world. Yes there are wounds and scars, but there are also good and beautiful things in life.
Sure, a friend may have moved away. A loved one might have passed. Finances are tight. The news is worrisome.
But, we should remember...
I woke up today.
I can see
I can hear
I can walk
There are people that love me
I can still make friends
The sun has come up
There is still plenty of beautiful things in God's world, and that is what we need to focus on.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
