IT'S CATCHING
Watch out or you will catch it too. What am I talking about? A bad cold or the 'flu? No, I'm talking about GLOOM AND DOOM, a sneaky destructive state of mind that you can either succumb to or fight it with everything you have.
Yes, I know the news, whether national or international or even local can bring anyone down with a case of GLOOM AND DOOM. A sick friend, a personal problem, a feeling of malaise not easy to identify. We have all experienced this type of thing from time to time especially at the holiday season. Do we expect too much and then feel let down?
So what is the answer? It's not found in a prescription bottle nor in an OTC package. It's not in a glass or even a hot cuppa, though these can help in moderation. The best solution to Gloom and Doom is found between the covers, the covers of your bible. Its sixty-six books will help you to find the answer to your personal Gloom and Doom attack. Try the Book of Psalms or Proverbs next time you feel Gloom and Doom coming on.You will be surprised!
As the old hymn chorus says,
Count your blessings, count them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
Jean Dean
