I&#8217;m sure you are no stranger to that idea. But have you checked the way you handle disappointments lately? <\/p>\n<p>Being one who has gone through unemployment on more than one occasion, a divorce, heartbreak, and they many challenges life brings I certainly can offer at least 2 cents on disappointments. But through it all I remain positive, I laugh, smile, and continue to love on God.<\/p>\n<p>I mean as bad as it may get, it can truly be worse. I am blessed that I woke up this morning, that I have all my senses, that I can move my body, that I&#8217;m in my right mind (even though left handed). Oh I could go on and on. I make sure (usually on the way to dropping the kids off to school) that I let my children hear me verbally thank God for the many, many blessings that He has given me, my kids, our family, and so on&#8230;. I want them to know that nothing is guaranteed and that we need to take time to love on God and just tell Him &#8220;Thank you&#8221;. I thank God just for Him being who He is. Everything else is gravy. I&#8217;ve thanked God through tears. And through it all He knows I love Him and I continue to be blessed.<\/p>\n<p>Take a listen to a classic song <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ddYVZCdwo_Q\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;God Is Good&#8221; by Regina Belle<\/a>: <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ddYVZCdwo_Q\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_responsive_link_ads --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4647651612525789\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2949445208\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><br \/>\nWalking in love,<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/TayarishaJoyce\" title=\"Tayarisha Joyce's Twitter Account\" target=\"_blank\"> Tayarisha Joyce On Twitter<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/TayarishaJoyce\" title=\"Tayarisha Joyce's  Instagram Account\" target=\"_blank\">TayarishaJoyce on Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News flash&#8230; We all experience disappointments in life.
