When adverse storms strike, some people view it as a glass that is half empty; some people view it as a glass that is half full.

There is good and bad in most situations.

Due to a dispute with a family member the Christmas of 2007 was bad (glass half empty). My family lived 700 miles away, and I was not able to see them.

The good (glass half full) was that it reminded me that I need to depend on Jesus for my happiness not other people.

The Lord provided friends to spend Christmas day with. I got an anonymous gift's from a co-worker in a red tub next to my car. I got called at the last minute to work on the tech team for my church's Christmas production. In 2006 I was out of town.

The Lord made it up with my family. He turned Easter into a belated Christmas. He even provided a foot of snow. There was a Christmas wreath on the door of my sister's house.

The Bible says "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten, Joel 2:25.

The cup was half empty, but the Lord made it half full.

You have the kernel of a good story here, but instead of telling the facts, it would be great to hear the whole story.

Always neat to read of other people's blessings. This would be an enjoyable devotional, tied in with a few extra details to let the reader join the MC in the trials and blessings.

Thanks for sharing this piece of writing. :)
