That reminded me of a story...
There is a monkey up in a palm tree. As a man walks by, the monkey throws a coconut and hits the man in the head.
The man picks up the coconut. He cracks it open, he drinks the milk and eats the coconut meat.
That is it. That is all there is to the story.
Here is the meaning.... From time to time we are going to get hit in the head with coconuts, thrown by annoying people. We can cry, we can get mad, we can complain, we can pout. Or we can pick up the coconut, and find the good in it.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
