As I browsed CNN this week, I found some amazing stories:
Adult coloring books top best seller lists
Kermit the Frog has a double in the natural world
New buildings, etc. boggle the mind
There were also many stories of war, tragedy and death, but I chose to focus on the stuff that entertained me.
I know that as a minister of the Lord my main concerns should include the suffering that’s in the world. These are my concerns today, but just for a little while I found it a very pleasing experience to concentrate on things that brought a smile to my face and new ideas that encouraged me about mankind’s potential for good.
I like this old song by Buddy DeSylva, Jerome Kern, and Jerry J. Nowak:
Look for the silver lining
Whenever a cloud appears in the blue
Remember somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you
A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life
(See and hear Judy Garland sing this song on YouTube)
