cheers!

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.

- Proverbs 17:22 (NLT)

 

It is hard to be cheerful when it feels like the world is crashing down around you, I get that.

I have spent countless hours in tears, trying to make sense of something horrible that has happened, hours in prayer asking God “why?”.

Maybe God doesn’t always give me a direct answer.

I have learned that if I can smile through my pain rather than dwell on the heartache, I feel better.

Sweep your crushed spirit out with the old year and begin 2024 with a cheerful heart!
