I once read an example of how we stress about our struggles instead of tasting the sweet blessings that are within us or around us. Many of us are this way and will tell the world why we are hurting instead of speaking of how great our lives can be while we are on this earth.
It seems that the world wants to hear our problems instead of hearing about the good things that are all around us and happening in our lives. Even the slightest of annoyances will take precedent over our joys. No one wants to hear how good you are doing even though they will say to you, “How are you?”.
The short clip I read stated that a person gave each of her girls a rock and a sucker. She asked them to put the rock in their shoe and the sweet sucker in their mouth. They were asked to walk down the road, turn around and come back. As they returned, they were grumbling, limping, and staggering around because the rock made them extremely uncomfortable.
