My challenge for you today...
Count how many times you complain/nag/gripe/b*^$#/or say something negative (Debbie Downer)...
Now count how many times you are thankful/grateful even for the little things...and I mean the smallest things...the things you think you deserve and don't need to be thankful for, the things that you feel should be done for you or your kids or around the house/work, etc.
Tally up the score. Which one wins?
Col. 3:14-16 (NLT): "Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts."
Proverbs 17:22 (NLT): "A cheerful (merry/happy) heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength."
Choose wisely!
