I saw the above quote from W. C. Fields this morning and chuckled. I had been referred to as "Mr. Bah Humbug" while doing some Christmas decorating in the office. (I get to look forward to doing some more when I get home this evening too.) I am not big into decorating for anything so it is not on my list of favorite things to do. Thus, in my mind, the good part of decorating is when it is over. As far as I was concerned, I had started my day off with a smile "and gotten it over with."
On a more serious note, what is our attitude when we begin each day? Do we look for the graces and blessings that are abundant, or do we look for everything that is wrong? Are our hearts filled with gratitude? As followers of Christ it is important that we are people filled with faith, hope, and love. We don't smile to get it over with; we smile because we are blessed and redeemed by God's love.
By the way, my main job is to put the angel on top of the Christmas tree. Being 6'8" tall gives me a skill set not matched by any of my colleagues.
