CHOOSE LIFE —Deut 30:19 This day I call the heavens & the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life & death, blessings & curses. Now CHOOSE LIFE, so that you & your children may live. Hebr 12:15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God & that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble & defile many. Psalm 50:15 Call on me when you are in trouble, & I will rescue you. Gal6:9 Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. —We have all heard the phrase, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. For this we must learn to “Adopt an optimistic attitude in the face of adversity”. If we are honest we know that We have very little control over things & situations in this world, however we can control how they influence us. It is always a choice! We have the ability to transform Lemons into lemonade! Choose God & do good for that is what we are called to do. We never have to doubt His love & from that one thing we can make our lemonade & overcome all adversity. Love Mel
Be Positive
Prov 12:25 Anxiety weighs down the heart of a man, but a good word cheers it up. Prov 18:21 The power of the tongue is life & death; those who love to talk will eat what it produces. Phil 4:8 Now, dear brothers & sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, & honorable, & right, & pure, & lovely, & admirable. Think about things that are excellent & worthy of praise. — Positive thoughts, & positive words are critical to the heart. Renewing our minds in a positive environment will certainly impact our lives everyday. —Prov 15:13 A joyful heart makes a cheerful countenance, but sorrow of the heart crushes the spirit. —Spending time smiling, laughing, thinking positively, believing the best, while being spiritually prepared for life’s troubles improves your chances of giving thanks in all things.
