The Preacher pounds the pulpit yet again. Joy comes with affluence but beware of comfort because trouble hides around the next corner. Pessimism can swamp the psyche more quickly than a downpour can fill a gutter. The question is not whether we frolic in abundance or complain about our poverty. Our Creator sets both before us at various times in our lives to exercise our appreciation of life. Prosperity might include good health; and adversity might mean the absence of relationship. Either can exist in either circumstance. Whatever we encounter in daily living makes us rich or poor according to our joy barometer. Like the aster above, we can grow in a lush garden or on a gravel side road. May your decision today bring joy where ever you find yourself. Shalom, Mother BE
