Staying Positive

Dear friends, staying positive takes practice, but we are all capable of it. Positivity is something we often have to work hard at, particularly when life hits us hard. I hope you will find a few of these positivity quotes and bible verses good reminders that positivity reminds us that we are stronger than we realize.
