Life is like a bowl full of potpourri; a colourful mixture of dried flower petals, seed pods, stems, and yes, there can even be thorns.
If we focus on the petals, stems, pods, colours, and the aroma, a potpourri is a wonderful addition to any room. If we focus on the thorns however, we look at that same bowl with a great deal of distaste. Similarly, focusing our attention on the negatives in life can resemble the original meaning of the word potpourri…a putrid pot.
The purpose of this book is to help you see that in spite of the thorns, don’t overlook the good things in your bowl of potpourri. You can choose to build a BETTER life with God’s help, rather than being condemned to simply leading a BITTER one.
