Today I actually wasn’t feeling so grateful. In fact, I was feeling rather down. I was feeling a bit discouraged. I was even feeling like a failure. But today I chose not to let my feelings govern me. Instead of dwelling on my feelings and consequently stay in the dumps, I chose to pray, worship, focus on serving others, as well just be plain and simply grateful. Guess what??? I’m not FEELING in the dumps. My spirit is rejoicing in Jesus. My circumstances that caused me to feel in the dumps have not changed. But my attitude and countenance sure have! Need a mood swing?
