I had studied in a Convent. There mornings used to start with an elaborate affair of prayers and hymns. I initially was so frustrated with this. 20 minutes of murmuring and singing...
Gradually I learnt why we were doing it. Although most students assembled in the assembly ground because it was a rule, I was among those lucky few who loved it and understood its importance.
Ever since it has become my daily routine. Gratitude has an important and positive influence.
God is more like a friend and a confederate than a frightful lawmaker.
I hope you get blessed by Almighty's grace.
