A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. (Proverbs 17:22 NIV)
I have found that when I am thankful and not complaining, my heart is cheerful. I am sure I am not the only one who can be grumpy sometimes. It is not good for my soul. When I feel grumpy and allow it to remain, my day is not good.
Being thankful in every situation takes practice.
Be Encouraged! Be intentional each day, a cheerful heart is needful.
