Dream Awakener

“A cheerful heart is good medicine.” Proverbs 17:22 NLT

A favorite Peanuts cartoon of mine starts with Lucy at her five-cent psychology booth, where Charlie Brown has stopped for advice about his life.

Lucy says, “Charlie, life is like a deck chair. On the cruise ship of life, some people place their deck chair at the rear of the ship so they can see where they’ve been. Others place their deck chair at the front of the ship so they can see where they’re going.”

So Lucy, the good “doctor” looks at her puzzled client and asks, “Which way is your deck chair facing?”

Without hesitating, Charlie replies gloomily, “I can’t even get my deck chair unfolded.”
