@rY'@3T&[0When lifes responsibilities are pressing, it is easy to forget how to rejoice.Our natural response to trouble is to murmur or complain, to become serious and go through life with wrinkled forhead.

We murmur about the menu instead of feeling satisfied that we have been provided with food.『原版英语』y,E4{9G.Pl6q
