Disappointment

After putting together 1999 pieces to a puzzle, you realize there is 1 missing. Now there is no way you will be able to complete it. The piece is gone. 

You take your favorite pair of jeans out of your drawer. The new shirt you bought is going to go with them perfectly. As you put them on, you realize that there is a large grease stain on the front pant leg. 

You order two pieces of material from an online store. When they arrive 6 days later, the one piece has holes all over in it. You now have to wait 6 more day for the new piece to arrive. 

Disappointment is defined as the feeling of sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one's hopes or expectations. What really disappoints you? Are you willing to let one piece of a puzzle, or a pair of jeans, or a piece of cloth ruin your attitude? Is one puzzle piece going to ruin you day? In life, there will be disappointments. People are going to let you down, your job isn't always going to be easy, and your car can crap out on you. 

As you go on with your day or you week, think about how your disappointing situation's can bring you joy. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, "Give thanks in all circumstances; For this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." God didn't put us on this life to be miserable. He simply wants us to be happy. So no matter what happens, find joy in today.
