This change of atitude is truly transforming my life, one step at a time, and I cannot stop rejoicing in the change in me.Carole in the UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187373014392482048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-53113551039477603262012-05-31T08:18:58.504-07:002012-05-31T08:18:58.504-07:00Isn't it wonderful that when we have the right...Isn't it wonderful that when we have the right attitude, we always have that choice to see the not so pleasant things and turn them into opportunities for us to learn instead and see the "positive".<br /><br />I learned so much from the prison sister as I never had that much of a knowledge either about street drugs being an Ortho nurse before. Thanks for your prayers. Praying for you, too as you also do an important ministry with the children and continuing to encourage us here in this blog land. God bless you always and protect you. May the Lord help us see things through His eyes.RCUBEshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726426726039665564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-42184714452927419272012-05-30T18:02:37.157-07:002012-05-30T18:02:37.157-07:00Oh Debbie can I ever identify with this post.

Recently I have had to have my first prayer of the morning be for the Lord to control my mind on that day. Otherwise it can be soo easy to slip into despair and focus on all that is wrong in our worlds. But I do know from experience that it only makes our load heavier. You have some great prospective, and I am right there with you. We are only passing through. Soo glad your windshield got fixed. Your view IS gorgeous btw.

When I keep my eyes on Him, it's odd how quiet is my soul. When I keep my eyes on "that thing" ... well, let's just say I'm not always very nice :)<br /><br />Hugs,<br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-65501585643857652182012-05-30T17:23:39.733-07:002012-05-30T17:23:39.733-07:00I have always been a half full glass kind of perso...I have always been a half full glass kind of person. Life is hard and how we choose to see events in our lives can determine the outcome. I used to listen to Zig, too.

We received our check to help us catch up on past due bills and within two hours of the check being deposited my husband's car broke down on the side of the road. He had to have it towed and repaired..there went the money to get caught up.<br /><br />On side says...yea! you had the money...which is totally true...the other side whined, will we ever have enough??? I struggled between the two voices. The truth is God is still on the throne, even when my emotions don't line up with His truth.<br /><br />So I am there with you...and I too am asking God to change my perspective, because to be honest, I can't do it...I need the Holy Spirit to take over.<br /><br />Blessings...and so glad your windshield was fixed!!Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-66912826204940700002012-05-30T14:47:35.488-07:002012-05-30T14:47:35.488-07:00This post was such an encouragement to me today; j...This post was such an encouragement to me today; just what I needed to hear....You are so right in that we have to look beyond the circumstances and see the beauty God is creating in our lives.....Thank you sweet friend...Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977147960900342156noreply@blogger.com
