Grace for your spirit
Do not say, "Why is it that the former days were better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. Ecclesiastes 7:10

When your sitting around with some people, it doesn't take long until someone starts talking about the "good ole days". It seems that when most people look at the good ole days, it is always with "rose-colored" glasses. We tend to forget about the troubles and trials, and just remember the fun. A careful remembrance will usually make us aware that we are better off now than at most times. More importantly, we need to be thankful for today and the opportunities we have to serve and Lord and others. It is wise to remember that our past is forgiven, our future is secure, and the present is just that; a present from God. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
