The choices we make can either be good or bad. So many don't realize that even our attitudes and feelings are a choice. We have a choice each day to make that day one in which we will react to our circumstances or choose not to react. I can choose to let someone else's bad day ruin mine, or I can choose to not take on someone else's attitude. When Dan and I were first married we worked for a sales organization. I still remember listening to a motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar who was talking about this topic. He gave the scenario of a man being a work and having a boss that was berating him all day long. The man then came home and snapped at his wife. His wife, in turn, yelled at their son for a small infraction because she was upset. The son was now hurt by his mom and pushed his little sister.

Wednesday words of encouragement
ReplyDeleteSo many times you have encouraged me . Today I woke with these words from Isaiah in my head and thought of you,
Fear not,for I have redeemed you
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters
I will be with you
and when you pass through the rivers they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire you will not be burned..........
Much love,
L.x.
Dear Terri, Lynn thought how nice it would be if we gave back to you some of the words of encouragement.
ReplyDeletePsalm 121 is one that I used to read to my husband when he was in hospital last year, and these words I send to you with love;
The Lord watches over you-
The Lord is your shade at your right hand;
The sun willl not harm you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm-
he will watch over your life.
"I said, "I am falling", but your constant love, O Lord, held me up. Whenever I am anxious and worried, you comfort me and make me glad."
