Think Positively, Okay?

Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and I'd just like to ask if how was your February 14, 2014?? I hope it was fun!! Well for me, it was quite a good day, but for my friends, they were not even happy. All of them have problems, a variety of both big and small problems. Hearing their problems, I felt sad too, but I came up with a thought, "Why not look at the positive side of the problem?" Well, whenever I have problems, I always look at the positive side of it, because for me, that's the only way I can be comforted and see how God is working in my life. As a student, I encounter problems in my academic. In academics, I have problems like passing grades and not high grades. Sometimes, it just really makes me down if I really worked for it, yet I got average grades! But, I just comforted myself saying, "At least I didn't get a failing score. I should be thankful!" I see God working in this kind of situation because I know that there are many other students who cannot afford to go to school because of monetary problems, and I know that I am blessed with these simple blessings. Or another example, whenever I get scolded by my parents, of course, I'm thinking, "Why did they scold me? I didn't do anything wrong!", but, on the other hand, I also thought to myself, "They scold me for my own good, I have to understand why they scold me." In this situation, I see God working--I have my parents to scold me because they love me, they care for me, but, how about the street children who have no parents, who is there to care for them, to teach them? This is a reminder to us, to always look at our bountiful blessings and be contented. We have so many gifts from Him, but just this simple problem! Why not look on the positive side of the problem and thank God for everything? Do you remember this? "HUNDREDS OF PROBLEMS; MILLIONS, BILLIONS, TRILLIONS OF BLESSINGS!" God has His way of teaching us and molding us, we just have to understand why He gives us trials in order to enjoy life, and see the super duper many blessings He had already given us.
