Staying cheerful

As a Christian, it is so easy to get down in the mouth about things...we sometimes tend to get gloomy and morose and pityful about ourselves, not realizing how much has been given to us and how Blessed we truly are. Do you know that there are people in the Body of Christ who have made sacrifices and re-paid favors and debts and IOUs for us without our even knowing it or realizing it? Others who have "taken the nails for us" when those nails should have been ours to bear. Starting with our Lord Jesus Christ who set an example in this regard, who else do you know who took the nails for you behind the scenes so you could go free? When you realize who these angels are, Bless them and pray for them. I know I have several angels in my life, and have been Blessed because they took the nails for me when I should have clearly been the one in the crosshairs. God Bless You if you are one of these angels. I know at least three of you on FaceBook, and there may be more. God Bless you all.
