When I lost my house to a fire, for months my thoughts were on what I lost. I did not concentrate on what was gained.   Yes, I lost all my possessions, family heirlooms, my dogs, and my house. What I was not concentrating on were my blessings. When I looked up from my sorrow, God extended His hand out with hope; he provided an offer of salvation,  a place to live, protection, and hope.

“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” Colossians 3:2 NKJV
