Description
In Corrie Ten Boone's book The Hiding Place, she talked about how the fleas kept the guards out from finding the Bible and allowed them to pray and read scriptures together. As a motivational phrase "grateful for the fleas" helps us to see the good in a bad situation. When we have gratitude, we cannot have anxiety or sorrow. The fleas in our lives helps us to turn our focus to something else and bless others in a way we didn't think about before. This phrase was asked to be done in Portuguese so the people around him at work wouldn't know what it meant and he could deal better with negative situations at work.
