Plus or Minus

There is a positive behind every negative...a blessing in the mix of it all with a lesson wrapped up surrounded with love and hope from the Almighty God.

Looking over the scrapbook I made with pictures of my new blended family.  At one point it troubled my heart to complete it.  It was completed on a hopeful moment and set aside to avoid on a hurtful low moment.

Today with a few thoughts running through my head as I reflect on the bible study subject....contentment...I reached for the scrapbook.

I sat down to look over each page, turning each slowly.  As I turned I could smile at the good memory on the page while I could tell you about a negative bump in each memory on the page but even though I found this time while browsing that my heart didn't ache so much with sadness but with hope and joy. 

Realizing that we have come out of each of those moments with smiles, hugs & laughter....positive instead of a negative.

I'm able to feel hopeful and I think I'm starting to understand contentment a little more.....
