"Reflect upon your present blessings..." -Charles Dickens

"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."

-Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

To Think About:

• There are many places where the Bible says to be thankful. How can you personally benefit from having a more thankful mindset in your life?
• We should focus on the good things happening right now rather than any bad thing that happened in the past.
• Sometimes we complain about really small things; groaning to our friends about how long the lunch line is or how much homework we have. When we get into this mindset, we set ourselves up for despair when something actually bad happens.
