“Half Full. Hall Empty. (PERSPECTIVE)”

“So my friend sent me this beautiful writing last night that her brother had written and it is just too good not to share with everyone..Amen..and it says this..”Someone is taking their last breath in a hospital bed today, and you’re frustrated sitting in traffic. Someone is spending their first night alone after years of love, and you’re annoyed your partner left dishes in the sink. Someone is burying their baby that they carried for 9 months, and you’re upset your child spilled milk on the couch. Someone is burying their mom who created them, and you’re annoyed your mom called you twice this morning. Someone is wishing for just one more conversation with their dad, and you’re rolling your eyes at his advice. Perspective is everything. Appreciate the little things because one day, they’ll be the big things.”..Amen!”

“And what is perspective..well, perspective is a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view..Amen..and I wondered this morning at how each of us maybe need to take a moment and look at how we ourselves are viewing our own lives..the people we have in our lives..and the ways that God has truly blessed but yet we overlook at seeing it..because of the way that we are viewing things right now in our lives..other than being positive we are drawing into the half empty glass of life..more so than excited about the future and drawing in more so into the half full glass of life..Amen..because if not careful we can ruin so many beautiful moments that God gives to us..we can end up regretting our so called perspective and our attitude and the way we treated our loved ones in life..Amen..and that is something none of us want to do in our lives..Praise the Lord..because we all have so much to be thankful for if only we look around and take a moment to see them..and see them in a new light other than that old one of being negative over what isn’t and not being grateful for what is..Amen!”

“For the bible tells us in everything that we are to give thanks..Amen..for that is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you and I..(1 Thessalonians 5:18)..Amen..and I pray that we are so grateful and thankful for what we have in our lives..for who we have in our lives..that we are a light in this darkened world..and that we are salt and light as we are traveling along as the Lord leads us..(Matthew 5:13)..that we are always and in every circumstance giving thanks always unto God our Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ..(Ephesians 5:20)..Amen..so I pray that we drop the bad talking..the bad attitude..the rolling of our eyes..the disgusting looks..and speech..and the complaining..and the murmuring..and always viewing everything we need in life..never being appreciative for everything we do have in our lives..every single blessing..all the things..and that we start counting our blessings..counting all that we have..everything that God has given and still gives..even after we have lost a lot in life..we still have so much left..Amen..so let us not get stuck in a season of problems by creating them ourselves..but much rather let us view our lives differently..let us look with that new set of lenses so to speak..and let us rise up and be all that the Lord intends for us to be..because every good and perfect gift comes from Him..(James 1:17)..life is fleeting that is for sure..days are numbered..(Psalms 139:16)..so enjoy what you have this day..not rushing into the future..and not looking behind to the past..but right now in this moment..choose to be thankful..and choose to let your perspective be a great one seeing everything has half full in your life..in other words seeing everything positive more so than negative..and half empty in your life..Amen!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that 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 ❤️
