Top of the morning to you and Happy Friday. I learned a new definition for TGIF and I shared it with my sisters via my phone this morning. Thank God I'm Forgiven!!!! Love it.
Today I want to discuss being positive in a negative world. We have people all around us it seems that are so negative and at times I have to catch myself because it can be contagious. In her book "Battlefield of the Mind" Joyce reminds us that positive minds produce positive lives. Then on the other hand negative minds produce negative lives. The negative thoughts are full of fear and doubt, but positive ones bring forth faith and hope. I choose faith and hope thank you very much. But there are individuals who choose all through their lives have had bad things happen to them so they refuse to even once believe there is hope and think positively. It's a kind of protection against being hurt again, because it's disappointing and it hurts so much. So they would rather refuse to hope and stay negative than believe that something good will ever happen to them.
I am speaking to those individuals right now. Start asking the Holy Spirit to convict you when you begin to think negatively, and replace those thoughts with positive ones. I know it can be hard sometimes but it can be done. Just remember God's word and what he says about you and your situations. In Proverbs 23:7 it states that "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he". When you begin a life of thinking more positively about the situations you are in you will begin to see that it works. It doesn't mean that we will always get what we want in life just by thinking about it. God has a perfect plan for each of us, and we can't control Him with our thoughts and words. But what we should do is speak and agree with him on his will and plan for our lives. God wants us to to live a peaceful and fruitful life and receive his blessings which will be so many we will not be able to contain them. Therefore we can bless others with what he gives us and brings into our lives in return. The toughest time to be positive is when something bad is happening or you can't figure out what to do in a tight spot. Remember, practice being positive in those times, and expect God to bring good out of it, as He has promised in His word.
Now, on a crafty note. I wanted to share my "free pattern" with you of a really cute spring wooden birdhouse. It's a double pirch wooden birdhouse that I decoupaged a few years ago. It's easy to do and looks great in any area of your home. Hope you have fun making this cute craft. Thanks and until next time - may God's grace and mercy follow you for all the days of your life. Here's a pic of the birdhouse - you are going to love it. Then I added some other birdhouses you can choose to purchase and decorate, either way they are fun to do especially with your grandkids.
