Lacking the Attitude of Gratitude

View from "Carolina Heaven"

November 25, 2020 This morning was one of those times when everything seemed to go wrong, and I was not turning lemons into lemonade. Not this time. The black cloud of discontent hung low, and even the bright bergamot of my wonderfully fragrant Earl Grey during my quiet time didn’t dispel the doldrums. As D and I took Chloe to the vet, I surfed radio stations. K-Love with its positive,  encouraging message struck the wrong chord. I didn’t want easy or upbeat. Then I heard it; the beauty and truth of the first line of this traditional hymn sung a capella did what nothing else could. Smiling, I felt secure. “Be still my soul, the Lord is on your side.” That is all I need.
