Would you be surprised if I told you that one of my favorite childhood movies is Pollyanna.
I guess I could even be accused of being "Pollyannaish." A term used to describe someone who is able to find something to be glad about ~ no matter what the circumstances may be.
Pollyanna's philosophy of life was centered around what she called, "The Glad Game". Originating from an incident one Christmas, when she was hoping to find a doll in the missionary barrell, but instead found only a pair of crutches. Her Minister father - quick on the spot; saw this as an opportunity to teach his daughter to look at the "good" side of things. In this case to be glad about the crutches because, "We don't need em!" Thus the "Glad Game," The rules are simple: Just find something to be glad about in every situation. There are many scriptures to support this concept in the Word. Here are a couple:
Psalm 100:2 Says, "Serve the Lord with gladness"... ;
and Psalm 118:24 States, This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Choose Joy, Choose Gladness.
