I've found that to be true many times in my own life. It's so much easier to wallow than to worship, but remembering to begin each day with thanks for his good gifts is a good place to start. May you find HIS joy in each new day.

And I've struggled with self-pity lately so I need to go through these verses personally. I also love your musical affects : )<br />When I saw your picture of worms, I have to tell you it reminded me of the jello worms (jello in straws)I tried to make for my granddaughters after seeing them on another blog. They turned out terrible...just a big mess of jello all over my kitchen. Although I thought it was funny, something about my jello worms especially fits the self-pity theme. : )Gail @ http://biblelovenotes.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462629145629813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027870719667125440.post-86439625416332748132012-09-10T11:44:52.853-04:002012-09-10T11:44:52.853-04:00This is such a slippery slope--this need to pity m...This is such a slippery slope--this need to pity myself.
