UP Beat or Beat Up
==================

.
 
My husband, Edward has always been one to give the shirt off his
back, literally, or to give his last bit of change.

.
 
He never asks for anything in return and he is a very hard
worker and provides well for his family. Recently, I had knee
surgery and gall bladder surgery, and he worked and took care of
me and still had time for our three kids, all less than 11 years
of age.

.
 
It just seems that nothing ever goes his way and now we have
been kicked out of our home of six years so our landlord can
move her friends in. We have to find another place to live soon
…and I know we will.

.
 
I just feel so bad that no matter how hard Edward tries,
he never gets anything or anywhere.
 

.
I spend a lot of time trying to understand how someone like him
stays so upbeat.

.
 
I have prayed for guidance, and I have prayed for silly things
like for him to be chosen for something of value. I realize we
are blessed with three happy, healthy children and fairly good
health ourselves, but now my prayers are just that he may
receive a pat on the back or something just to give him a little
boost to go on trudging through what seems to be a meager

existence here in the Ozarks in Missouri.

.
 
Just let him know he is worth more than any house or any amount
of money we could ever have…We all love him!!!

.
 
Thanks for your time and thanks for your prayers.

“I spend a lot of time trying to understand how someone like him
stays so upbeat.”

. 
It looks like your husband has found one of the keys to inner
peace. He is healthy, he has a job, he has healthy children,
and he has a wife and children who love him and wish that he had
more.

. 
I understand why he is so upbeat.

.
 
That is the difference of perspective. Proper outlook on your
blessings will make you feel upbeat. Focusing on the things
that you don’t have will make you feel beat up.

.
 
It all depends on which way you look at it.

.
 
UP Beat or BEAT Up.

.
 
Edward realizes that he HAS been chosen for something of great
value and that he has something of great value.

What a pleasure it is to have wise children.” Proverbs 23:24
