Sunday Thought 7
Bad news seems to be all around us. Everywhere you turn, someone is letting us know how terrible things are right now - inflation, housing markets, stocks, the dollar, etc. It can really be depressing.
It is during times like these that we need to keep a positive attitude. Things may be tough, but not as dire as the media portrays it. Their job is to sell - and bad news sells. But we do not have to buy into it. Even if things are rough for us personally, it is still important to keep our heads up and keep seeking our goals.
I am not saying it will be easy, that everything is rosey. It’s not. Life can be hard, and anyone who tells you different is trying to sell you something (I believe I first heard this from the movie Princess Bride!). But we need to carry on, keep trying, and having a positive attitutde goes a long way in helping us accomplish our dreams. As for me, it also helps to remember that “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” (Bible, Philippians 4:13).
Have a positively great day today!

I am sooooooooooooo happy to finally read something positive about all that is going on around “us” and to know that someone else feels as I do concerning the Lord giving us strengh. It take less energy to be positive.
If the Lord brought you to it, He will surely get you through it. Thanks
