"It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will. Of course, you must make it up firmly."
That Anne Shirley is wise beyond her years! I love this quote from Anne of Green Gables because it is exactly the lesson I am slowly learning myself. It can be easy for me to get in a dumpy mood when I don't pay attention to what I'm letting my heart and mind meditate on. But in Christ, I can choose joy. I can remember the promises of God, remember the love poured out on me by the sacrifice of Jesus. And suddenly I am rich with blessing! It doesn't matter what material things I have, what my abilities are or where I am, I have everything in Him. Reminding myself of this today. And giving glory to God for the beauty of his desert creation. It is blazing hot. But God is good.
