An attitude of gratitude


"Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." ~   Philippians 4: 8


Our thoughts have deep significance to our well-being.  When we put our focus and energy on what is wrong in our lives we do nothing but stand against something.  It paralyzes us when we are focused on all the bad in our lives.  But when we put our attention on all that is good, on all that is right, it helps our attitude change and it changes our lives.   There's enough bad going on in the world today that affects our lives daily IF we let it.   We must make a choice to have an attitude of gratitude every single day.    An attitude of joy and gratitude will always enable us to do so much more than one of opposition and defiance.  Each new day is truly a precious gift!

Thank you, Lord, for the infinite ways in which my life is good.  Help me to focus on them so I see my life in a more positive and triumphant way.  Amen.

Blessings,

Molly
