Recently my wife’s 91 year old grandmother had a leg amputated. A difficult and sad time for anybody, one would think. Well, she’s not just anybody.
Prior to her going into the theatre, she had other patients in complete stitches with her positivity. In fact, if you didn’t know any better, you’d think they were having a party, with her being the life thereof. Coming out of the operating theatre, she had some visitors who came to visit and encourage her with some uplifting / edifying words. One of the visitors gave her some encouragement from the Bible and her response to him? “I can’t argue with that, I don’t have a leg to stand on!”
What a fantastic worldview to have. While we may not necessarily lose a leg in the course of our activity today, all of us will face some difficult or challenging situations. Whatever you do though, don’t let that cloud your positive outlook on life.
