This morning I got a letter that had some potentially very bad news financially. I felt my mood plummet for a few brief moments. I recognized this as just a feeling brought on by my limited scope of vision. I sought to put my trust back in the scope God's vision and my fears were relieved for the moment.

Later I reread the letter and found that the news was not nearly as bad as I thought. It didn't have the current impact that i thought, it didn't place and unreasonable demand on me for the future, and it didn't mean certain harm. At this point the relief was more lasting.

I thought back to the day before when I noticed that it had grown cloudy and cold and I recognized that this made me feel depressed. I remembered that I had a choice, and that with divine help I could restore the sunny day in my heart.
