The Bright Side

 Today we were beginning a new bathroom project.  Simply taking up the old tile, putting the new tile down and installing a new toilet.  Sounded simple, unfortunately it was not.  After removing the old tile, we saw a saturated wood floor.  Water had, somehow, gotten underneath the tile and had saturated the wood.  Not only was the wood wet where the tile and where the toilet once sat, but it included the wood under our bathtub.  When I saw the wet wood, visions of an old movie went running through my head.  The Money Pit, where a couple purchased a house only to find it literally falling apart on them, to include the bathtub falling through the floor!

So I had a choice to make:  I could stand there and cry and complain about the added cost and inconvenience this 'little project' was turning into, or I could remind myself that things could be a lot worse, and to look on the bright side.

Psalm 71:14 says, But I will hope continually, and yet praise thee more and more.

No matter what pops up in our daily, every day lives, I will still never run out of things to praise my heavenly Father for.  

Things could've been a lot worse, so I am choosing to look on the bright side!

But that's just me!
