Positive Thinking

Blessings from the Lord are everywhere. I find that when I take the time to reflect on my day, that the Lord has given me many things to be thankful for. Even in what would seem to be the most normal, routine day, God has blessed me in some way. After time, it gets to be a daily thankfulness and I start to feel good about my life and start looking for the positive rather than the negative. 


For example, Brandon was late coming home tonight due to work. I could have taken this situation and griped and complained about how I was tired and had to do all the night routine tasks by myself. Instead, I took it as time to get dinner fixed, have dinner with my boys and was able to spend some quality one on one time with them. Once they were in bed for the night, I had about 1 1/2 hours to myself. This rarely happens and I took it as time to work on my hobby. 


It also could be something as simple as, nothing went wrong today. Things moved smoothly and no major crisis happened. So I encourage you to take the time to think about at least one small blessing the Lord bestowed upon you today. I have placed my blessings on my blog. It is nice to see them recorded, so if I am having a bad day, I can go back and look at the many things God has blessed me with.
