Reading

Today I was reminded of two things:

Once decisions have been made and events are set in motion you can't always change them. BUT you can choose how you respond: glass half full or glass half empty. Always keeping the big picture of how GREAT and GOOD my God is and has been to me helps for sure!

Then I was reading a book I was given 13 years ago (I was only a pre-teen!)... the story is chalked full of little situations when someone uses words or general expressions of kindness that change the heroine's outlook and, ultimately, her life. As a teacher I have alot of opportunity to raise up my kids... as a wife I have even more (and that's not even considering as a daughter, sister, and friend)!

Two concepts that seem totally overwhelming: choosing to have a sunny outlook and sharing that sunny outlook with others.

BUT "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). That's a promise!
