Positive Perspective!

We can always use a positive perspective in our lives. It is a blessing when we have someone(s) in our life to help us see those positives and live them each day. The Israelite people in the first reading from Exodus, 16:1-5, 9-15, could use that positive perspective. They were content with their situation in Egypt because they had work, had food, had shelter. Now, they are being led out of Egypt and into the desert by Moses and Aaron. Of course, the Israelite people were not seeing any hope so they began to grumble and that is a key word. They wanted food and they grumbled about it, but God heard their grumbling and answered their plea, answered their prayer. Even though times and situations change, there is still grumbling that goes on about people or different issues. What we can use is a positive perspective and realize that God's ways are not our ways. We may know what we want, but God knows what is best and that is what we receive. It is easy to fall into the traps of grumbling, complaining, criticizing, even being judgmental, but there is a bigger picture to see and its one that hopefully brings a positive, confident lifestyle. God wants us to have faith and trust in Him. Above all, we can all use patience, a great virtue to pray for. Yes, we like to grumble when things don't go our way or maybe because this person did something to us, but it is from that we can develop a positive perspective. I can always do better in that and I thank the person who continues to show me how important it is to always be positive! God Bless You!!!
