August 4 - One of the best ways to get out of the self-pity trap is to
do some "instant bookkeeping." For every entry of misery on the debit
side of our ledger, we can surely find a blessing to mark on the credit
side: the health we enjoy, the illnesses we don't have, the friends who
love us and who allow us to love them, a clean twenty-four hours, a
good day's work. If we only try, we can easily list a whole string of
credits that will far outweigh the debit entries that bring about
self-pity.Is my emotional balance on the credit side today?
Today I Pray - May I learn to sort out my debits and credits, and add it all up. May I list my several blessings on the credit side. May my ledger show me, when all is totaled, a fat fund of good things to draw on.
Today I Will Remember - I have blessings in my savings.
