Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these?" For it is not wise to ask such question... When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.
It's easy to think the past was better than today. Most of us have selective memories. We only remember what we want to remember. However, when we look at the past through rose-coloured glasses, we run the risk of being ungrateful for what we have right now.
Our days, months and years are made up of both good times and bad. The tapestry of life's events makes up the very essence of who we are. Thank God for all the wonderful memories. Take the difficult things to God in prayer. Ask him what he wants us to learn from the present situation. God doesn't waste any of our experiences. He can use the good days, as well as the not-so-great days, to benefit us, if we let him. (:
The key is to remember things as they really were, to be content with things as they really are and to trust God to take care of the future.
