What would be the perfect day for you? A day off work with full pay? Time spent at a spa? No dishes to wash or dinner to cook? Time spent with your favorite person? A warm, sunny spot to sit and relax? All of these examples seem to exhibit two common ideas – peace and happiness.
We often daydream about the perfect day to find that it may never truly meet our expectations. Perfection is not 100% attainable here on Earth. There is always something that stops it short. Of course, we may find people who always have great attitude and outlook on life, allowing for minor flaws to fade away and have a perfect day.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
The grace of God provides for us peace in an imperfect world. We must seek a positive attitude to allow this grace to enter our lives. We are always given the freedom to choose a negative or a positive attitude. Keep that in mind!
What brings us peace and happiness? God wants us to find peace and joy. Look at each imperfect day with open eyes, ears, and a heart of gratitude. I don’t think you will struggle at all to find some peace and happiness in each day!
