Days of PURPOSEFUL Thankfulness – Day #33

Note: Refer to day number 1 (July 25, 2015 post) if you don’t know what this is all about.

This is the day that the Lord has made. So, I choose to exercise joy and find reasons to be glad on today. There is a saying that 'God don’t make no junk.' Yea, I know that’s poor English but that’s the phrase and I believe that about today. Things may have not gotten off to a great start…I take that back. If you and I woke up this morning able to move, THAT is a great start. We determine what will be the tone for the rest of the day. You and I may be faced with a number of issues but we have to mentally fight to not let circumstances make our minds like yo-yos. If everything is going our way, we’re in a good mood all day. If something or someone interrupts our flow, it just sets the tone for negative behavior and thoughts to flow from us the whole day. Sure, it can be challenging but we have to make it our purpose to not let anything or anyone have that much power over us. That’s just too much power to give anyone or anything! You may find yourself slipping into a negative mood but as soon as you notice what’s happening, switch gears. YOU DECIDE to do what you need to do to change what you’re thinking about and how you are behaving. If in the past you’ve failed in this area, well here’s your opportunity to have one of many reasons to be thankful for another day. This is the day that the Lord has made. So join me in CHOOSING to exercise joy and find reasons to be glad on today.
