DAY 212 -- Always Joyful, or Always Complaining?

It is surely interesting to be a witness to Father's tender loving care and at the same time see how He uses trials to teach lessons.  "All things have been done in the wisdom of Him who knoweth all things."

It is a comfort to me to know that He is aware of all things, and they are done in His wisdom.  The key to these events is how we react to them, or how we don't react to them.  I know many people who react negatively to almost everything that enters their life.  They are miserable.  They can always come up with reasons to be sad and depressed.  It is hard to be around those people, for they want to share with everyone how difficult their road to travel is.

Then there are those who seem to cope well with anything and everything.  As I have watched those in these two arenas, it is interesting to me that often, at least in my opinion, those who are always coping better and accept anything and are glad about it, the things they receive to endure are more difficult than those who are always complaining.

It is good that I am not the judge, for I do not see all aspects.  That is only on the surface that I judge those things.  It is a comfort to know that "He who knows all" is the judge and will make righteous judgment and not me. 

Along these sane lines, I need to ponder and ask if others judge me to be in one of these classes of people.  Am I always complaining?  Do I consider my acreage to hoe as a hard one?  Or do others think I am mostly joyful no matter what I get blessed with?

I will have to question and analyze that tomorrow.
