Be alive. Live aware of the wonder of it all. Such a call is not to abide in pretense that there isn't something wrong...like in many things wrong. Yet, the beckon is to defeat the negative with the outrageous and incalculable positive which reigns on everyone's parade.
Wonder exists in every setting. I live and work within the ranks of depression and devastation of family after family. This isn't an occasional experience; but is rather a daily unfolding. Life is rugged. It bites and stings...every person.
What we do, therefore, is never pretend. We do focus. We look at the grand scheme of a redeeming God and praise Him for it. In the very center of his prison cell, the apostle Paul sang to God and the jail collapsed under the load of...of...singing in a very unsingable situation.
Struggles? Suffering? Injuries? At every turn for each of us. And what shall we do about it? We shall notice the blessings, the hope, the encouragement that is supplied from above...right on the very stage that wishes to beat us to a pulp.
Let life REIGN on your parade! Soak in it!
