Weekly Thought --- (religious concept)
Permalink  
 



Weekly Verse
You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.

Isaiah 55:12
Weekly Quote
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. Winston Churchill
Weekly Thought
Bad habits are easier to form than good habits. Its easier to wallow in a bad attitude than to change the way we look at life in a positive way. Those principles are true of both groups and individuals. 

What is the attitude of the various groups you belong to? Your neighborhood friends? Your work department? Your family? Your church? Is there a spirit of negativity and complainingor a spirit of joy? Most importantly, what attitude do you bring to the table?

Are you positive or negative? Do you go forth into the world with a contagious joywhere even mountains and hills begin to shoutor do you succumb to a prevailing negativity? The choice is yours!

Dear God, help me to take joy into every situation and every meeting I have today. Amen.
~~~~~~

Pappy,
I didn't see much if any religion in that. Just a lot of practical spirituality.

God bless,

Yep, I agree ... but a lot of people associate the Big Big Book with religion ... even though it teaches no religion, cause 'religion' is man made ... ... ... you're right, practical spirituality plus a lot of common sense in these emails I get ...

Glad you had the time to check-in with us ... take care!

Great posts, Pappy.
Yes, I need to work on my negativity. Been having that kind of thinking for years and realize that it is not going to be a "quick fix".
