Day 45-Reframing

....I had an experience today that was not terribly pleasant.  I was pretty mad about it, in fact.  However, it didn't take me long to consider the fact that what I was mad about was not anything that's going to matter in a week, or in a month.  I also then thought about my daily challenge in thankfulness.  Was there anyway that I could be thankful for this unpleasant experience?  Absolutely there was.  This process in and of itself was enough to be thankful for.  I was able to turn the experience and come up with a couple of positives. 

Dear Father. Thank you for stretching my mind and my own understanding of myself.  It is only through you that I can experience growth in my character and development.  Thank you. Amen.
