We got Chinese food for dinner last night. (Chinese food is SO good, but the whole time you're eating it your feeling like the fortune cookie is probably just as "healthy" for you as the other food.)
:)
Anyway, when my sister opened her fortune cookie and read the fortune, she read:
"You take an optimistic view of life."
Normally, we ponder the fortune and it's probability, and then laugh. But this time, God revealed something to me through the little slip of paper in the cookie.
I realized that a Christian will take an optimistic view of life, because they have have hope that they will never sink so low that they are out of God's saving reach. They have an opportunity to serve others and bring others joy through their words and actions, and the hope of eternal life in glorious heaven.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the ressurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead," 1 Peter 1:3
May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
Sarah :)

That's true! Our optimism is not just hoping things will turn out okay. The living God is OUR God and we can trust Him so we can be truly hopeful!
