They say being positive is one of the secrets to being a happy christian..and guys is that not the truth..for we all choose the type of day were going to have..we can let life get us down..we can look around at all the things that we don’t have that maybe we want..we can live our lives in the past…we can go over and over all the mistakes..all of the hardships..all of the struggles…really if we let ourselves we can live miserable lives..but we have to choose not to live there in misery…but you know I myself am learning just as I’m sure you are learning to be positive..and to see and always look at the good side of things..always choosing to find the good in whatever situation that were presented with..always seeing the glass half full rather than half empty..for in doing so we live a much better life…Amen…for positive people attract positive people..happy people they do always attract happy people..just the same negative people attract negative people..for they say that misery loves company…so instead of letting myself go places in my mind that I know all to well isn’t going to do me any good whatsoever..I decide immediately to change my thinking..for I know that if I dwell on the bad that has happened or maybe is happening…I am going to be so sad..and so disappointed..and I really don’t want to be sad or disappointed in my day..but rather I want to be happy..and I want to be satisfied..and I myself choose to be content..and appreciate what I have..and love where I am..for where I am I always remind myself is where God would have for me to be..so I think about good things..and as I said I redirect my thought life..and them things that I am choosing to dwell on..for sometimes we can’t change the things anyhow..and we know the scriptures in the word of God says by worrying we can change nothing..Matthew 6:27..just like we’ve all probably heard before that worrying is like rocking in a rocking chair..we rock and rock but get no where..same difference with worrying..so the Lord tells us to think good thoughts..Philippians 4:8..and for us to be content always..Philippians 4:11..and to pray continually..1 Thessalonians 5:17..and to always let His high praises be in our mouths and upon our lips..Psalm 149:6..and for us to understand that God takes care of us..He is faithful..and He is always on time..so we know that yesterday is gone..tomorrow may never come..but right now is our life..and we can live this life anyway we so decide..but as for me..and my house were gonna serve the Lord..Joshua 24:15..and were gonna be happy, satisfied and fulfilled christians..knowing that God has set us free..and knowing that God is in control..for you see guys it’s one thing to know the word of God..but it’s a whole other thing deciding to live the word of God..for by living it our lives and our worlds do change and change for the better..for we don’t see things the way the world does..and we don’t do things the way the world does..but we do as the word of God says..and we live knowing that we are in God’s will and God’s plan for our lives..and every good and perfect gift comes from Him..James 1:17..so we decide with our own choices the things we do in life..so we choose to be thankful…and we choose to be happy..and always see the good other than the bad in every situation and in every circumstance…because we know the joy of the Lord is our strength..Nehemiah 8:10..and that laughter does good the bible says like a medicine..Proverbs 17:22..Amen..for the Lord died that we all would have life and have it more abundant..John 10:10..so let us all strive for that abundant life..and we all do that daily by the way we choose to live and enjoy our lives..so let us live them well and choose to live them well..In Jesus’ name,  I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
